NIB OSHC & OVHC Visa Certificate

Your health-cover certificate is important evidence when arranging or updating Australian visa health insurance.

NIB OSHC confirmation certificate

NIB states that its OSHC meets Department of Home Affairs student visa requirements and promotes delivery of the OSHC confirmation certificate shortly after approval.

NIB OVHC visa evidence

NIB’s overseas health insurance information states its visa-compliant covers provide a Visa Certificate after approval. Keep the certificate with your visa records and check that names and policy dates are correct.

If your dates change

If your CoE, visa application period or intended cover dates change, review whether your insurance dates need updating. For students, NIB provides an option to extend health cover through its member services.

Certificate is not the same as visa advice

A certificate shows the insurance arranged. Whether a particular cover and period satisfy your visa circumstances should be checked against your visa conditions and current Department requirements.
