Aim for Today Quickly go over the report Get your input, ideas, suggestions

What the report will cover International Students Studying in Australia Heath Cover for International Students The Complexity of OSHC Issues with OSHC Call to Action

So what is new? All international students studying in Australia must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for themselves and any dependents that accompany them.

Its still happening Just two weeks ago in Melbourne, Saanvi, a young female student was brought to a public hospital doubled over in excruciating pain …..

What is an emergency? a risk of serious morbidity or mortality and requiring urgent assessment and resuscitation; or suspected acute organ or system failure; or an illness or injury where the viability of function of a body part or organ is acutely threatened; or a drug overdose, toxic substance or toxin effect; or psychiatric disturbance whereby the health of the patient or other people is at immediate risk; or severe pain where the viability or function of a body part or organ is suspected to be acutely threatened; or acute haemorrhaging and requiring urgent assessment and treatment; or a condition that requires immediate admission to avoid imminent morbidity or mortality

When is a new pain a pre-existing injury? An AusAID student who is in Australia in 2015 through a disability program has no use of his arm after an accident 10 years ago. A few weeks ago he felt severe pain in the arm and went to hospital….

There is no Government Mandated Price

Australian Human Rights Commission – Ensure that international students and their families have access to affordable medical and hospital treatment while studying in Australia – Ensure international students and their families have sufficient information about how to access emergency health services when required, and that health services are aware of their obligations to provide services – Support access to gender-specific health education and services and appropriate obstetrics care for international students and their partners

Any other Issues? Pregnancy? Deed to be Reviewed? Visa begin and end dates/course begin and end dates? Agents? Others?

Solutions? Education Providers to recommend Ambulance cover? Govt guarantee to cover hospital admissions? Note competitive advantage of other states Education campaign for GPs, and hospital staff? Clarification needed re: what students are covered for
