We offer two overseas covers for students
Medibank's overseas student health covers are 100% compliant for:
Visa subclass 500
Whether you’re coming to Australia to study at university or TAFE, or to complete your secondary schooling, there is now only one student visa you need to apply for, the Student visa (subclass 500). If you hold a closed student visa, subclass' 570-576, these covers are also suitable for you.
Australia's healthcare system explained
The private healthcare system (which Medibank is part of) complements the public healthcare system, or if you’re not eligible for Medicare, it replaces it. Medibank provides private health insurance (also known as overseas health cover) to overseas students, visitors and workers to help with the cost of services provided in the private healthcare system. This includes emergency ambulance trips and a range of treatments in a private hospital.
If you need medical attention while you’re in Australia and you don’t have health cover it can be very expensive, whether you’re treated in the public or the private healthcare system.?
Medicare is operated through the Australian government and gives Australian residents, and some international visitors, free or discounted health services through the public healthcare system. If you’re from a country with a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA) you might receive some Medicare benefits, also known as Reciprocal Medicare.?
