Insurance and an eSIM

Get these on GoAbroad if you still need them.

Confirm whether your campus mandates CISI before you buy insurance.

  1. Required unless school covers you

    Many Australian universities already sell OSHC. If yours does, do not buy a second medical plan. If you are on a short credit program without OSHC, buy medical and evacuation on GoAbroad.

  2. Required

    A GoAbroad eSIM is on before you try to find Wi-Fi in arrivals at SYD or MEL. A 7-day tourist pack will die in week two of the term.
