Balanced Diet

Focus on consuming a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Australia offers a wide range of fresh produce, so make the most of local fruits and vegetables.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, especially during hot Australian summers. Limit the consumption of sugary beverages and opt for water as your primary choice of hydration.

Active Lifestyle

Engage in regular physical activity. Australia has numerous outdoor recreational activities to offer, such as hiking, swimming, cycling, and beach sports. Find activities you enjoy and make them a part of your routine.

Take Advantage of Parks and Open Spaces

Australia is known for its beautiful parks, gardens, and beaches. Take advantage of these outdoor spaces for exercise, relaxation, and spending time with friends and family.

Sun Protection

Protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays. Wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses when outdoors, especially during the peak hours of UV radiation. Australia has high UV levels, so it’s essential to take sun safety seriously.

Mental Well-being

Take care of your mental health by practicing stress management techniques, engaging in hobbies, and seeking support when needed. Australia has various mental health services available, including counseling and support groups.

Sleep

Prioritize getting enough sleep each night. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to allow your body and mind to rest and rejuvenate.

Tobacco and Alcohol

Limit or avoid tobacco use and consume alcohol in moderation. Australia has strict regulations around smoking and drinking, and it’s important to adhere to these guidelines for a healthy lifestyle.

Regular Health Check-ups

Schedule regular check-ups with healthcare professionals to monitor your overall health. Australia has an excellent healthcare system, and it’s important to take advantage of it.

Community Engagement

Get involved in community activities, sports clubs, or volunteer work. Building social connections and engaging with others can contribute to a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Remember that everyone’s journey towards a healthy lifestyle is unique. Find what works best for you, set realistic goals, and make gradual changes to incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine.

Things are not covered by OSHC in Australia

OSHCstudents-Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is mandatory for international students in Australia, and it provides coverage for a range of medical services. The specific coverage may vary slightly depending on the insurance provider and policy, but here are some common aspects of what is typically not covered by OSHC.
Baek Ah Yeon

I trust Allianz Care since it is one of the largest insurance companies in Australia, with the medical centres where I only have to pay for what is left from insurance support. (no need to claim later). Besides, those centres are located at the centre of the city, close to schools. Very convenient, right? Credits to Allianz Care for providing reliable medical centres for health check and treatments.

I’ve been living with homestay family for 2 years. I’m now 19, I can move out but I don’t want to leave my host, who has become my family. It feels like I’ve met my second family. Thanks OSHCstudents for sending me to this homestay!

I realised how important insurance was when I started living in Australia. There I switched to using Allianz Care instead of the previous service. Allianz Care is extraordinarily good in its consulting service and customer care. I’ve learned a lot about Australian health care, also I was consulted with mental issues and how to live a healthy lifestyle. I am very happy now.

Having lived in Australia for 2 years, I’ve been reliant on AHM OSHC to pay for my health care, which supports me for other expenses. Last year, I sent my claim requests for several times and always received the claims within two days. Everything is easy, fast and simple.

Thanks to Allianz Care, every time I claimed my medical receipts it processed much more quickly and easily than I expected. I was initially a bit concerned since Allianz Care is more expensive than other insurance companies, but now I can ensure that it is totally worth the money.

My homestay was very comfortable and convenient. My host was really kind. He showed me where to shop, which buses to catch, where the nearest train station is, to get off at which station so that I wouldn’t be taken to another suburb. Travelling was easy since the place was close to public transports. It only took 30 minutes to get to my college, actually I could go anywhere easily!

When told that I was going to live with an Italian family, I was pretty nervous and doubted whether or not they could speak English well as the local people? Yet it was no longer a problem when I saw them. They knew the problems of people who first came to Australia and always tried to help me. I learned so many things about both Australian and Italian culture and enjoyed tasty Italian meals every time. Awesome!
