Most international students must maintain overseas student health cover (OSHC) for the duration of their Australian student visa. International students must advise Education Queensland International (EQI) of their arrangements for OSHC in order to receive their Confirmation of Enrolment.
EQI can arrange OSHC on behalf of international students with
Allianz Global Assistance, the EQI preferred provider of OSHC.

EQI recommends that all international students take out additional travel insurance for the duration of their stay in Australia to ensure comprehensive protection for their valuable personal items and medical services not covered by OSHC.
