UWA’s OSHC provider is Medibank.

The university will arrange your Medibank Single Comprehensive OSHC Cover on your behalf. You will be covered for your arrival in Perth. Once you're in Perth, contact Medibank if you need to update your policy for family dependents.  The OSHC payment for dependents needs to paid up-front for the full duration of your visa.

If you're bringing family members with you when you first arrive, contact the Student Contact Officer, they will advise you about how to arrange an upgraded policy to cover your dependents.
