Student Visa and Health Cover
Prescott College will provide students with a Confirmation of Enrolment which will assist you in the process of applying for a student visa. All international students studying on student visas must have Overseas Health Cover (OSHC), which is insurance that provides cover for the costs of medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia.
International students are responsible for organising their own student visas and health cover.
