Find out more benefits of being with Bupa

Bupa’s overseas working visitors’ cover, including subclass 485 cover, meet Department of Home Affairs (DHA) health insurance requirements. They also include the following benefits:

  • 100% Australian Government visa compliant 
  • Health insurance verification letter granted instantly
  • Access to public and private hospitals 
  • Affordable cover options

The subclass 485 Visa enables overseas graduates to live, work and travel within Australia temporarily after they’ve finished their studies. This post-study working visa helps international students develop and apply the skills they gained from their graduate degree. It also helps overseas students be more employable upon their return to their home country, or before they start another Australian visa.

Bupa’s 485 Visa Health Insurance meets Australia’s 485 visa requirements. For other requirements, check out our 485 visa checklist.

Is your Bupa OSHC about to finish?

Australia’s Department of Home Affairs requires you to have continuous health cover during your stay in Australia. Therefore it’s not uncommon for students to have both OSHC and 485 cover with Bupa while you’re applying for your 485 visa. So you may have two sets of cover at the same time while you wait for your visa. Don’t worry – you won’t be out of pocket. We’ll backdate the end of your Bupa OSHC cover to match when your new cover starts, so you won't pay for any overlapping cover.
