Arriving in a new country comes with lots of exciting opportunities — but figuring out how the healthcare system works can be a challenge. From understanding where to go when you’re sick to knowing what your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) covers, it’s important to know how to access the right support when you need it.
To help make things easier, La Trobe’s Public Health experts have created an online learning module designed especially for international students.

Accessing the Australian Healthcare System is an LMS subject that walks you through the essentials so you can feel confident about managing your health and taking care of yourself while studying in Australia.
