Health Insurance (OSHC)
One of the important criteria for granting student visa and migration facilities to overseas students in Australia is an overseas student health insurance cover. Until you have valid health insurance, no Australian institute or immigration department would grant you a student visa.

Not only students but also their spouses, family and children under 18 years of age are liable to obtain an OSHC to get a visa in Australia.
