Overseas student health cover
As an international student in Australia, you are required to obtain overseas student health cover for the duration of your stay in Australia. Overseas student health cover will help you pay for medical and hospital care you may need while studying in Australia. Overseas student health cover will also contribute towards the cost of most prescription medicine and emergency ambulance transportation.
Overseas student health cover is available to students and your family members accompanying you to Australia. You may request family coverage for you, your spouse and dependent children under 18 years of age, if they are accompanying you to Australia. You can pay for your overseas student health cover when you pay the first instalment on your offer of place - this will cover you when you first arrive into Queensland.
More details about overseas student health cover may be obtained from the Medibank Private Health Insurance website.
Visa applications
International students intending to study at WideBay TAFE, must obtain a student visa, a temporary resident visa or a working holiday visa that permits study. It is recommended that you contact the Australian Embassy, Consulate or Mission in your home country as early as possible for full details regarding your visa application.
Further information and application forms may be obtained from the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship website.
