Student Health Insurance

Navigating Australian healthcare: find your perfect match

Need health insurance in Australia? You’re not alone. We help you compare top providers based on price, benefits and customer satisfaction.

A must-have for international students

Cover that protects you down under

Health insurance is not paperwork to rush — it is what stands between you and an unexpected bill in your first year abroad.

We help you compare top providers and find a plan that fits your budget, meets your needs and provides the right benefits, so the policy you hold is one you would actually want to use.

Fits your budget

Premiums compared across providers for the full length of your visa.

Meets your needs

Single, couple or family cover, matched to who is travelling with you.

Right benefits

The inclusions that matter for your circumstances, not just the cheapest headline price.

Types of cover

Which policy applies to you

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

OSHC is compulsory for all international students studying in Australia. Cover encompasses doctor visits, hospital stays, ambulance services and some medications.

Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC)

OVHC is essential if you’re visiting Australia — a mandatory health insurance policy for many temporary visa holders, including family members joining you.

Acadex helps you compare and arrange cover. Policy terms, waiting periods and inclusions are set by the insurer — we’ll walk you through them before you commit.
