Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

 

Australia has a special system of health cover for international students called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). You must have health cover for the duration of your enrolment as a condition of your visa requirements. OSHC will help you pay for any medical or hospital care you may need while you are studying in Australia, and will contribute towards the cost of prescription medicines and an ambulance in an emergency. Dental, optical and physiotherapy are not covered. See more information about the Medibank student health cover at http://www.medibank.com.au/client/staticpages/oshchome.aspx

 

 

Living costs

 

Prospective students are encouraged to conduct their own research so they can know their possible living cost in Melbourne, Australia. For your reference, please read Joan Lawman College Student Handbook or go to: http://www.immi.gov.au/students/student-visa-living-costs.htm

 

Note: Students having financial difficulties to pay their tution fee can come and discuss their circumstances to Joan Lawman College staff.
