If you want to change your OSHC provider, follow these steps to make the switch seamless and maintain your health coverage.

Check Visa Requirements

Before transferring, confirm that your new OSHC provider is approved by the Department of Home Affairs to meet visa requirements.

An unapproved provider could jeopardize your visa compliance and cause future complications.

Notify Your Current Provider

Contact your existing OSHC insurer to inform them of your intention to switch and understand any exit conditions or outstanding payments.

Some policies may have minimum commitment periods or cancellation fees.

Purchase the New Policy

Buy your new OSHC policy before ending the current one to avoid any coverage gaps.

Obtain confirmation documents that prove your new policy start date.

Update Your Education Provider

Notify your university or college of the new OSHC provider details, as they often require this information for enrollment and visa compliance records.

Ensure there are no delays in updating your student records to prevent administrative issues.
