COVID-19 has impacted healthcare worldwide. Learn what your OSHC covers regarding the virus and how to stay protected.
Coverage for COVID-19 Testing
Most OSHC providers cover medically necessary COVID-19 testing as part of their benefits.
Check your plan to confirm any co-payments or claim procedures.
Hospital and Treatment Costs
If hospitalization for COVID-19 is needed, OSHC typically covers associated medical costs.
However, coverage may vary by provider and plan specifics.
COVID-19 Vaccination
Vaccines are usually free through public health programs even if you have OSHC.
Keep vaccination records as proof, which may assist with travel or university requirements.
Staying Informed
Follow updates from your OSHC provider and Australian health authorities for policy changes.
Being well-informed helps protect your health and studies.
