408 Visa Overseas Visitor Health Cover

Health Insurance for your 408 Temporary Activity Visa

If you are in Australia to participate in eligible activities, you may be eligible for a 408 Temporary Activity Visa. We offer Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC) for international visitors on the 408 Temporary Activity Visa.

Our OVHC is Australia-wide and lets you access medical and health cover if something happens during your stay.

The Department of Home Affairs requires 408 visa holders take out health insurance each time you travel to Australia – so you are covered during your stay.
