From 1 July 2016 all overseas student are required to apply for
their student visa online. From this date, all applicants and their
family members must have (at the time of the application) OSHC
cover (insurance) for the entire period of their student visa and
stay in Australia. If a student enters or remains in Australia without
OSHC, they are in breach of their visa. Students must provide
evidence of having paid for OSHC (insurance), or being exempt
from this requirement at the time of application.
