As most overseas visitors or workers are not eligible for Medicare (our publicly funded healthcare for residents and citizens), getting an appropriate level of health insurance is a requirement for a range of visitors visas. Some visa subclasses must purchase, and provide proof of acceptable OVHC when applying for their visa and maintain cover for the entire time they are in Australia.

Depending on the type of cover you buy, your visitors cover will keep you protected against some of the costs of medical treatment if you get sick or have an accident. Some treatments can cost thousands of dollars!

Your policy starts when you arrive in Australia or the day that your visa is granted – whichever is later – and ends when your visa expires, provided you maintain your policy payments. It’s important that you contact us when you arrive in Australia or when your new visa starts so that we can activate your cover. Note that you're not covered for treatment outside of Australia.

CBHS International Health's visitors cover is health cover for visitors looking to work within Australia. It’s part of the requirements for a range of visas when coming to Australia. OVHC is health insurance that complies to the standard set by the Department of Home Affairs (DoHA).  These products are only available to overseas visitors with visa condition 8501.

Once you’ve bought your cover, an email with your compliance letter will be immediately sent to you. Please make sure you provide a valid email address to avoid delays.
