biffo Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi, When applying for OSHC for a student visa for the student and a dependent partner do you have to take a couples insurance or can you do two individual policies? Reason for asking is that quotes for a couple over two years is almost $5000 but a single is about $1000. This seems mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 That doesn't seem right at all. When I got mine it was cheaper for a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm pretty sure I've read that the OSHC needs to be in the name of the primary student visa holder, so the dependent cannot take out the required cover on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffo Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I think you are correct MaggieMay. It's just another insurance company scam charging couples more than two singles. Looks like we are better off getting two visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadang Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 it is crazy! my family (2 adults and 1 child ) quotes for ten thousand a year compared with a single with only less 500$ ? What' s wrong with that policy? Is it that the insurance companies deliberately swallowed international students? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
