HEALTH AND MEDICAL

Overseas Student Health Cover

In the land down under, your health is covered with Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Consider it your health passport—it’s not just a suggestion, it’s a must-have requirement for your student visa, unless you happen to be one of the lucky exceptions. You, and any dependents tagging along (spouses and kids under 18), are required to have OSHC for the entire duration of your studies in Australia.

Why OSHC?

OSHC is your golden ticket to easily accessing medical services while you’re soaking in the Aussie sunshine. We want you to focus on acing your studies and creating unforgettable memories, not worrying about medical bills. OSHC has your back, offering coverage for doctor visits, some hospital treatments, ambulance services, and a limited stash of pharmaceuticals (medicines).

BANKING

Make managing your money a breeze with a variety of banks covering the entire nation, along with local credit unions and building societies. Here’s your quick guide to setting up your Aussie bank accounts:

Setting Up Your Banking Journey:

Timing is Everything: You can set up your bank account either before or after you touch down in Australia.
Essentials Checklist: To open an account, arm yourself with essential documents like your Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE), passport, Letter of Offer, and other identification forms.
Tax File Number (TFN): You might need an Australian Tax File Number (TFN). Head to the Australian Tax Office website for TFN details.
Wisdom from Moneysmart: Dive into the Australian Government’s Moneysmart website for additional advice.

Withdrawing Money:

ATM Adventures: Withdraw your Aussie dollars from automatic teller machines (ATMs) scattered across the country. It’s usually free when using an ATM affiliated with your financial provider.
Fee Alert: If you wander into another provider’s ATM territory, be prepared for a fee. The ATM will let you know of any fees at the point of withdrawal.
Global Card Power: Even if you haven’t set up a local account, most ATMs recognise international cards. Your credit or debit card from back home is your ticket to cash.
Costs to Consider: Keep in mind that fees accompany withdrawals from your home account, including transaction fees and currency exchange rates. Check with your home financial provider before embarking on your Aussie adventure.

Sending Money to Australia;

Know the Costs: Every service has its price tag, and you can find the nitty-gritty details on fees and charges by visiting your financial provider’s website.
Electronic Elegance: Easily transfer funds into your Australian bank account from overseas banks through electronic means. It’s a seamless process that puts the power of your finances in motion.
Destination Banking Details: To send money across borders, you’ll need the banking details of the lucky recipient. Share the love by providing your financial provider with their banking particulars.
