If students are in Australia and are commencing their RMIT program online, it is generally a condition of their student visa that the students continue to hold OSHC for the duration of their visa.

Now, if a student is not in Australia and are commencing their RIT program online, they can accept their offer and RMIT will issue a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) to them even if they do not hold OSHC. However, it is the students’ responsibility to arrange OSHC when they are ready to apply for their student visa. Please note that failure to have a valid OSHC when applying for a student visa may result in delays in visa processing and visa refusal.

We strongly recommend that students refer to Study Australia COVID-19 Resources Hub to familiarize themselves on the number of changes to student visa program the Australian Government has recently announced. If students axe intending to apply for a post- study work visa upon completion of their studies, the requirements of students to hold a visa would mean that they are required to arrange OSHC at the time they accept their offer.
