Know moreSkilled Work Regional Visa
Live, work and study in designated regional areas for up to five years, with a pathway to permanent residency.
Know moreOSHC and OVHC, explained side by side
Medicare isn't available to international students, so Australia requires a dedicated policy for the length of your stay. Which one you need depends on your visa.
OSHC
Overseas Student Health Cover — for Student visa (500) holders
- Cover types: Single, Couple, or Family
- Must be held by you and any dependents for the full course duration
- Doesn't usually cover dental, optical or physiotherapy — ask about OSHC Extras
- Covers COVID-19-related illness under major organ system categories
- Short courses (3 months or less) may only need a tourist-visa-appropriate travel policy
OVHC
Overseas Visitor Health Cover — for non-student visa holders
- Required for visitor visas (300, 580, 590, 600, 601), working visas (482, 485, 400, 401, 476, 489), Working Holiday visas (417, 462) and select bridging visas
- Mandatory when moving from Student visa (500) to Post-Study Work visa (485)
- Can include dental, physiotherapy and optical — unlike OSHC
- Often payable monthly, offering more flexibility than OSHC

Find a place that fits your budget and lifestyle
We help you weigh location, university proximity and cost before you commit to a living arrangement.
On-Campus Housing
Limited availability — apply early, ideally during admission. Some universities also lease nearby apartments for extra security and self-catered living.
Residential Colleges
Includes meals, cleaning and academic or social support. More expensive than standard halls due to added services; catered or self-catered options available.
Homestay
Live with an Australian family. Popular with secondary students and short-term English program students. Cost depends on room type and catering preference.
Hostel & Guesthouse
The most affordable option — shared facilities and self-catering kitchens.
Rental Properties
Often unfurnished, so budget for furniture and upfront costs — including your security deposit and first month's rent.
Studying 6+ months? You're likely a tax resident
If you plan to study in Australia for six months or more, you'll generally be treated as an Australian resident for tax purposes — with responsibilities and benefits worth understanding.
What this means for you
- Pay tax on income earned in Australia, at the same rates as Australian residents
- Access the tax-free threshold, tax offsets and lower rates than foreign residents
- As a temporary resident, most foreign income doesn't need declaring — only Australian income and overseas work income earned while temporary resident
How we support you
- Careful review of your income and deduction documents, led by a Registered Tax Agent
- Clear guidance on what you can legally claim
- Fast turnaround with our Same Day Lodgement promise
