호주에서 임시비자 (예, 학생비자)를 소유하면서 영주권을 신청하고 나면 medicare card를 만들 수 있는 자격을 줍니다. 그 medicare를 받았다고 해서 OSHC를 대신하진 못합니다. 즉, 다시 말해 OSHC를 학생비자 만기 또는 영주권을 받기 전까지 반드시 유지해야 합니다.

관련 policy내용을 최신 자료로 공유해 드립니다.

Any cover provided under a RHCA will be in addition to their OSHC.

Students who have temporary Medicare access must still maintain OSHC while they hold a Subclass 500 visa. This includes students whose home country has a RHCA with Australia, and students who have applied in Australia for a permanent visa.

OSHC provides more comprehensive benefits to overseas students and their dependants than those provided under the RHCAs, including ambulance services, benefits for expenses exceeding the equivalent of the current Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, private hospital/registered day hospital facilities and surgically implanted prostheses. OSHC also provides prudential protection for overseas students and their dependants, which may not necessarily be extended to a policy holder obtaining health coverage from a non-registered insurance provider.
