OSHCstudents – When it comes to refunds for an unused period, there are several common questions that people may have. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions related to refunds for an unused period.
Can students get a refund if they leave Australia for 30 days or more?
If the student is out of Australia for 30 days or more, a student can request a refund for an unused period, the insurance will be extended in cases:
– You must have a valid OSHC when you apply for Holiday Credit
– You must apply for Holiday Credit within 30 days of your return to Australia – You must be out of Australia for 30 days or more
When can you get an OSHC refund?
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is a mandatory health insurance for international students in Australia. The refund policy for OSHC typically depends on the provider and the specific terms of your policy. Here are some general considerations:
Cancellation Before Arrival
If you cancel your OSHC before arriving in Australia, you may be eligible for a refund of the premium, minus any administrative fees. The amount refunded would depend on the provider’s policy.
Cancellation After Arrival
If you cancel your OSHC after arriving in Australia but before the policy’s expiration date, you may be eligible for a refund for the unused portion of the policy. Again, administrative fees may apply.
Visa Refusal
If your visa application is rejected, and you provide proof of the refusal, you may be eligible for a refund. This would typically include the OSHC premium, minus any administrative fees.
Early Departure
If you leave Australia before the expiration of your OSHC policy, you may be eligible for a refund for the unused period. The specific terms and conditions of the refund would depend on the OSHC provider.
