Why Health Insurance Matters
for International Students
Studying abroad is an exciting experience, but it also means being far from home and away from your regular healthcare providers. Health insurance is essential to ensure that you have access to medical services if needed, especially in case of unexpected illness or emergencies. Some countries, including Australia, require international students to maintain health insurance as part of their visa conditions.
