Yes, every international student needs to buy Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). It is a mandatory condition for a student visa in Australia. This insurance must cover your entire duration of stay in Australia. OSHC serves as a safety net for international students, providing them access to medical services while they are studying in Australia. It also saves international students from expensive medical costs, depending on the specific coverage of health insurance.
