Here’s why travellers prefer us:
Yes, if your study program is extended or changed, you may need to extend the start or end dates of your OSHC to remain compliant with your visa. It’s important to do this before the original policy ends to avoid a coverage gap.
Your OSHC covers you while you’re in Australia, regardless of state or territory (e.g., NSW, WA, QLD, ACT), so interstate travel is fine. But if you travel overseas (including returning home temporarily) and receive treatment there, those costs generally won’t be covered.
When your visa subclass changes, your health insurance requirements may change as well. For example, moving from OSHC (student cover) to a more appropriate cover, such as OVHC, for working/visitor visas. You’ll need to check the conditions of your new visa and ensure you hold the correct cover with no gaps.

GetMyPolicy provides complete visa health insurance solutions for international travellers, students and workers:
Yes,you may be able to upgrade your plan during your stay. Check with your insurer whether the new cover can be backdated, whether waiting periods will apply and how it affects any visa condition, such as Condition 8501
Some insurers allow cancellation of the policy if your stay ends early, but conditions apply (e.g., no claims made, and policy period unused). Refund eligibility, cancellation waiting periods, and documentation vary by provider. Check the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for details.
It depends on your policy. If your policy end date covers the full period of your visa stay (including multiple entries), then you’re covered. But if your policy only covers a single visit period, you may need to take out a new policy or extend the cover for subsequent entries.
No, OVHC policies generally cover you only while physically in Australia. Medical treatments received overseas (before arrival or after departure) are typically excluded. Always check the policy’s geographical cover limitations in the PDS.
