Hi there, I'm assuming that you are talking about an Australian student visa because you've referred to Medibank and also the requirement to have private medical insurance. When you apply for your visa you will need to show that you have taken out at least 1 years Overseas Student Medical Coverage. This is usually organised through the institution where you will be studying. Once you get your visa you will have a condition attached to it that states that you must maintain your OSMC throughout your stay as a student in Australia - so, you will need to renew your insurance every year. Medibank private is one of the main providers however you can also check out: MBF NIB HCF Best of luck and feel free to contact me on Jessica.Stooke@Visalogic.net if you need help with your visa application.
