Orientation Week is a fun, festival-like
event and is an opportunity to meet
fellow students and get involved in
student life at the University.
Orientation Week is compulsory for
international students studying on
campus in Australia, as it provides
you with important information which
will help set you up for success during
your studies at the University.

Orientation
Overseas Student
Health Cover (OSHC)
The Australian Government requires
international students to have adequate
medical insurance or health cover from an
Australian Health Fund. There are currently
six providers approved by the Australian
Government: Bupa Australia, AHM OSHC,
Allianz Global Assistance, Medibank
Private, CBHS International Health, and NIB.
The University of Notre Dame Australia
partners with Bupa Australia as our
preferred provider. Bupa is Australia’s
largest healthcare provider. All new
international students enrolled at the
University will be covered by this provider,
unless proof of other cover is provided. The
costs of your OSHC are invoiced to you for
payment with your first year’s fees before
you arrive in Australia.
OSHC is effective from one week before
Orientation Week and is valid for the length
of your visa, so you will not need to worry
about renewing your cover while you are
studying. If you intend to arrive in Australia
before the cover starts, please notify the
Admissions Office so that appropriate
health cover can be arranged.
If you change or extend your study
program, it is your responsibility to ensure
that you remain covered as long as the
length of your visa. If you do not have
sufficient OSHC coverage, your visa could
be cancelled and you will not be covered for
any medical bills that you incur during the
lapsed time.
For further information on OSHC please visit
the Australian Government’s Department of
Home Affairs or the Department of Health.
