Your OSHC policy must cover the full period of your visa. Therefore, you need to get a policy which starts the day after your previous policy ends and goes through until your visa end date. You can buy this policy before your current policy ends. When extending your OSHC cover, you can change your OSHC provider.

If you don’t know the dates of your visa, see below for further information.

If you get the dates wrong and need to adjust them, your insurance company will be able to do this quickly and issue you with a new policy with the correct dates.
