Congratulations! You’ve made a great decision to study abroad. We’re here to make the process easy, finding the best cover to suit your needs.

Why do I need a student health cover?

  1. It helps cover you for medical expenses while you're studying abroad, including:

      • Doctor visits

      • Hospital

      • Emergency Ambulance
