Purchase a new policy from OSHC Australia
OSHC Australia will guide you to a policy that is low cost, but still offers everything that the Australian Government requires in an OSHC policy. Your student visa will not be affected. We will send you your new policy within 2 minutes of purchase.
We send you a cancellation form
OSHC Australia will send you, via email, the required cancellation form. You should fill the form out with the information from your original OSHC policy.
Send cancellation form to old insurer
Send the completed form along with the certificate sent to you in step 1.
Wait for your refund
Within 4 weeks, according to your old insurer, you will receive the refund for your remaining old policy (less any processing fees). As the per-month refund is higher than the per-month cost of your new policy, you will have money in your pocket!
