You will require OSHC for the duration of your studies in Australia.

Start Date:

Your OSHC start date should be the day you arrive in Australia. If you’re unsure of your course start date, please choose a date up to 28 days before your course starts.

OR

If you are switching courses or switching from another OSHC provider choose the day after your current OSHC expires.

End date:

Your OSHC must cover the entire duration of your student visa. To determine your policy end date (also your visa grant end date) please refer to the below:

i) If your course is 10 months or less, your policy end date is 1 month after the end of your course date

ii) If your course is over 10 months (ending between January and October), your policy end date is two months after the end date of your course date

iii) If your course is over 10 months (ending in November or December), select your policy end date as the 15th March of the year after the end date of your course date

For example, if your course runs from 1 March 2017 to 1 September 2017 (which is under 10 months) then add one month to your course end date. In this example your OSHC policy dates would be 1 March 2017 to 1 October 2017.
