6 Overseas Student Health Cover Overseas student health cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides cover on the costs for medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia. OSHC will also pay for most prescription drugs and emergency ambulance transport. If you are an international student studying in Australia, you must purchase an approved OSHC policy from a registered health benefits organisation - commonly referred to as health funds before applying for your visa. You will need to buy OSHC before you come to Australia, to cover you from when you arrive. You will also need to maintain OSHC throughout your stay in Australia. Some health funds that offer OSHC are: Medibank Private BUPA Australia AHM How much does it cost? OSHC costs depend on how long you will be in Australia and vary depending on the health fund. However, the approximate cost for one year is $ What is covered? The OSHC covers most medical expenses and the cost of hospital care which international students may need while in Australia. OSHC will also pay for most prescription drugs and emergency ambulance transport. What is not covered? Dental care and optometry costs are not included in the cover but students may take out additional cover. Students are advised that OSHC does not cover any pre-existing conditions (such as pregnancy or prior illness) and such expenses must be met by the student. Full Time Study Australian law requires International students to study at a full time study load. A full-time study load is normally a minimum of 20 hours per week for at least 36 weeks each calendar year or continuous 12- month period. Please be aware that if your attendance drops below 80% over any 2-weeks period the College is required to review your involvement, counsel you, implement an intervention strategy and, if poor attendance persists, report you to DIAC. The report to DIAC will lead to the cancellation of your Visa. If your attendance falls below the 80% attendance requirement and you have unsatisfactory academic progress you will be reported to DIAC which will lead to the cancellation of your visa. Satisfactory Progress If you do not have satisfactory academic progress you will be reported to DIAC which will lead to cancellation of your visa. Unsatisfactory academic progress is defined as failing more than 20% of units in a single study periods. A failure in more than 20% of units in one study period will trigger a review of academic progress by the College and the implementation of an intervention strategy. Version / Nov

7 Working in Australia Students can apply for a student visa with permission to work in Australia after commencement of their course of study. A fee will have to be paid for this visa. Immigration laws allow students to work for a limited number of hours, currently 20 hours per week during the College study time and full-time during breaks. However, work is not always easy to find and under no circumstances can students rely on income earned in Australia to pay tuition fees. Students are not permitted to work if it interferes with their study. School-aged Dependents There are requirements for compulsory school attendance for children or dependents of international students. In New South Wales it is compulsory for children to attend school until the age of 16. The choice of schools includes public schools, private schools and religious schools. People over the age of 16 can continue to attend school until they have completed year 12. Dependents of persons holding a student visa may be required to pay full fees in any school, college or university that they enrol in whilst in Australia. It contains excellent information regarding NSW Government school options, English language education, school fees for International students and school uniform costs. Student Support Services The Student Support Contact, teaching staff and administrative staff of the College are available to provide general advice and assistance with matter such as studying, homework, accommodation, English language problems and counselling. Students requiring special or intensive assistance must contact the Student Liaison Officer who may refer them to external support services if required. Students requiring individual training related needs must contact the Principal for further assistance. Please refer to The Mask Academy s Student Support Services Policy available from The Academy s Administration. The Student Support Contact is normally available during normal College hours. Should the Student Support Contact not be available it is the responsibility of every trainer and administrative staff member of The Mask Academy to help the Student with any immediate support. 24 hour support is available through external support services listed in the Student Handbook under Helpful Contacts. Change of Address Upon arriving in Australia you are required to advise the Academy of your residential address and telephone number and of any subsequent changes to your residential address. This is extremely important. Under Section 20 of the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 the College is obliged to serve a notice at your last known address if you breach a student visa condition relating to attendance: or academic performance. The Academy may also send warning notices to you which are aimed at helping prevent breaches of your visa conditions.
