What if I get sick?

Australia has a very high standard of medical care. Your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) will help pay for your medical care, ensuring you have access to services when you need it. OSHC is compulsory for all international students coming to Australia.

The large universities have medical facilities on campus; some even have specialist doctors. Smaller institutions and schools have trained first-aid staff.

Medical centres and hospitals are in all cities and towns. You can ask to see a male or female doctor at any medical centre. There are also many bilingual doctors throughout Australia.
