Why Is OSHC Mandatory For International Students?

OSHC is a legal requirement for most international students holding a student visa (subclass 500). This is due to the 8501 visa condition, which mandates that students maintain adequate health insurance for the entire duration of their stay in Australia. The policy must begin when the student arrives in Australia and continue without interruption until they leave. This requirement helps international students access necessary healthcare services and reduces pressure on the public healthcare system.
