OSHC Membership Guide
Types of membership available and who can be covered
OSHC offers two types of membership:
- Single membership, which covers you (the student) only
- Family membership, which covers you (the student), and your Spouse and/or Dependent Children.
A Dependent Child is not eligible to remain on an OSHC Family Membership from the date of his/her eighteenth (18th) birthday. Members with OSHC may not be members of any other Medibank Private hospital cover. They may, however, purchase an additional Medibank Private ancillary (or ‘extras’) cover. Please contact us if you would like further information about our ‘extras’ cover options.
Short course students
If you come to Australia on a visitor visa to undertake a short course of study (three months or less), you are not eligible to purchase OSHC. To discuss our Visitors Cover options, please visit a Medibank store or call 132 331.
