The Australian Government stipulates that international students who are studying in Australia must purchase overseas student health insurance. If they did not have any insurances, the visa would not be issued.
There are three insurance companies offering health insurance for international students in Australia named Medibank Private, OSHC Worldcare and AHM. It will pay for most of the medical expenses, prescription drugs and emergency ambulance fees incurred by international students during their stay in Australia.
In general, medical insurance payments will be collected together with tuition fees, paid by the school. Medical insurance cards will be issued along with student ID cards, and the process of reimbursement of medical expenses is convenient.
