Overseas Students are eligible for OSHC. You are an Overseas Student if you are:
a person who is the holder of a Student Visa; or
a person who:
is an applicant for a student visa; and is the holder of a bridging visa; and
was, immediately before being granted the bridging visa, the holder of a student visa.
A spouse, de facto, o child or step-child of an overseas student who is unmarried and has not turned 18 may be covered on a policy as long as the policy is for an appropriate family plan (including dual family and multi family policies with effect from 1 January 2012).. If such a person ceases to be a Dependant for the purposes of OSHC, he or she may wish to seek other health insurance options.
