Insurance

There is Personal Accident insurance for students but it is limited in regards to the scope of cover and compensation benefits payable.

Please refer to the Student Association responsible for your campus for full details of the Product Disclosure Statement, Policy Schedule, Policy Wording and claim forms.

Claims against this insurance must be lodged within 30 days of the date of your accident causing bodily injury.

It is recommended that students have their own private health insurance and ambulance cover.

International students –please refer to Overseas Student Health Care in the International Student section of this Handbook.

By Victorian Government legislation, students are not covered under the University’s Work Cover and are not covered by a host organisation’s Work Cover while on outside placement.

Neither the University, the Guild or Student Associations insure any personal property of students. It is recommended that students insure all property for which they are responsible.
