Visa Refusal or Cancellation
If your student visa application is refused or your student visa is canceled before you arrive in Australia, you can typically request a refund of your OSHC premium. You will need to provide supporting documentation, such as the visa refusal letter from the Department of Home Affairs.
Early Departure from Australia
If you leave Australia earlier than planned and no longer require OSHC coverage, you may be eligible for a refund for the unused portion of your policy. The refund amount will depend on the terms and conditions of your OSHC provider.
Change of Visa Status
If you change your visa status in Australia (e.g., from a student visa to a permanent resident visa) and are no longer required to maintain OSHC, you may request a refund for the unused portion of your policy. Documentation of the change in visa status may be required.
Duplicate Coverage
If you accidentally purchase OSHC coverage from multiple providers and can provide proof of the duplicate coverage, you may request a refund from one of the providers for the overlapping period.
