Visitor Visa Health Insurance

OVHC and health cover information for family visitors, tourists, parents and subclass 600 visitor visa applicants.

Why visitors compare cover

Visitors may compare health cover to manage medical costs, support travel planning, or meet a visa-related health cover expectation.

  • Medical treatment in Australia can be expensive without suitable cover.
  • Parents and family visitors should check age, family and waiting-period rules.
  • Policy dates should match the intended travel and stay period.
  • Read product documents before purchasing or relying on a policy.

Visitor visa and insurance together

Insurance does not replace the visitor visa evidence. The application still needs to address travel purpose, funds, ties and visa history.

Purpose

Tourism, family visit, business visitor or other short stay purpose.

Funds

Evidence of financial capacity for travel and stay.

Insurance

Health cover evidence where relevant to the travel plan.
