All international students, except New Zealand citizens, are required to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of their student visa in Australia.

OSHC will help pay for medical (doctor, pathology, x-rays) and hospital care and will contribute towards the cost of most prescription medicines and emergency ambulance transport.

Premiums for the year 2009 are AUD$315.

Students pay the premium to cover each period of authorised stay in Australia as a student. Kenvale College pays the OSHC premium on behalf of the student for 12 months, so that the student is covered upon arrival to Australia.

New students are to pay the OSHC premium together with their enrolment fee. Upon their arrival, the College will issue the students with their OSHC card. The College will extend the cover on a yearly basis. The student will be invoiced the appropriate fee, payable at the same time as enrolment fees.

Kenvale's preferred provider for OSHC is Australian Health Management (ahm).  For more information go to ahm Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
