Understanding visa condition 8501
Many Australian visas carry condition 8501, which requires you to hold adequate health insurance for the entire period of your stay. Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC) is designed to meet this requirement.
Choosing a compliant policy keeps your visa valid and protects you from unexpected medical costs while you're in Australia.
