Student Visa Application Fee
As you may have seen in the news, on 1 July 2024 the Australian Government increased the application fee for a Subclass 500 student visa to AUD$1,600. Visa costs may change at the discretion of the Department of Home Affairs and without prior notice to the University. Students should refer to the Department of Home Affairs website for the most up-to-date visa application fees.
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
Students undertaking a program whilst holding a student visa are required by the Department of Home Affairs to have OSHC that covers the entire visa grant period, regardless of any other insurance they may already have. The University’s preferred OSHC provider is Bupa. Where the University of Sydney arranges OSHC with Allianz on behalf of a student, the current OSHC fees are as follows:
- AUD$356 – students commencing a 1 semester duration Study Abroad or Exchange program in Semester 1 2025
- AUD$711 – students commencing a 2 semester duration Study Abroad or Exchange program in Semester 1 2025
