Note: It is compulsory for international students to have a valid overseas student health cover/insurance for the period of their visa. Medical costs in Sydney can be very expensive and from our experience it is economical for students to have overseas heath cover to bear this cost in case of medical emergency. If you need more information regarding overseas health cover please do not hesitate to contact the Student Services Officer and alternatively you can visit following websites:
