Student Health Insurance/
Overseas Student Health Cover

Learn how student medical insurance supports your life & studies abroad.

Why Do I Need Student Health Insurance?

All students studying at ILSC or Greystone College in Australia, Canada and Ireland are responsible for having adequate medical insurance (Overseas Student Health Cover) for the entire duration of their enrollment at our schools. In some locations, medical insurance is required to secure your visa and must be valid for the duration of your time in Australia, Canada or Ireland. We believe all students studying abroad at any of our international locations should have adequate health insurance to cover them in case of a medical emergency.

Having student health insurance gives you and your family back home peace of mind. In an emergency, it gives you 24/7 support in your own language and removes financial stress so that you can focus on getting the care you need.
