Purchase principles during the period of occupational safety and health insurance:
When international students buy OSHC insurance, they should refer to the course time, which is 1 month in advance and two months later. There are two time nodes, one is March 15 and the other is September 30th. Whether the school starts in February or July, the final termination time must be one of them. For example, courses that end in 165438+ 10 and 65438+February can be purchased in March 15 of the following year. I bought it on September 30th at the end of July.
When does occupational safety and health insurance come into effect and terminate?
For most students who have just started classes, your insurance has been completed by your school before you arrive, and it will take effect when you arrive in Australia. For students who continue their studies, the insurance is valid until the expiration date indicated on your membership card. Please check whether you have a membership card and know your expiration date to ensure that your insurance is always valid.
How to extend OSHC?
If your occupational safety and health expires before your student visa expires, you are responsible for ensuring that your occupational safety and health insurance is updated. Or, if you apply for a student visa extension, you need to prove to the immigration office that you have OSHC. You can renew your policy in the following ways:
Use your credit card to renew your insurance on the OSHC insurance website.
Some schools can also charge your OSHC premium by renewing the contract on campus through the customer representative of the insurance company.
Send the renewal form together with the check or draft to the insurance company by post.
