What you pay

 
As an international student, it is a requirement of your student visa that you have private health insurance for the duration of your stay in Australia. Medicare - Australia's national health program does not cover you. We provide flexible payment frequencies to ensure you can be covered for the full length of your visa.

Check our prices below, effective 1 January 2010. All prices include Goods and Services Tax and are in Australian dollars, and may be subject to change.

ahm OSHC Prices 2010

Good news! You will receive a 6% discount if during 2010 you purchase ahm OSHC for 13 months or more if you pay in advance. Policies greater than 3 months can be tailored to suit the length of your student visa. For example - if you need a policy for only 7 months and 2 weeks, that's all you pay for.

Your partner and your dependant children under 18 years of age can be covered under an ahm OSHC family policy if they are authorised to enter Australia and hold a student visa or a student dependant visa and live with you while you’re studying. We don’t cover members of your family such as parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, uncles or aunts.
