Overseas Visitor 419 Visiting Academic Visa

Congratulations on being recognised for your significant academic achievement in your home country. Achievements like yours open up so many doors. Like an offer of sponsorship by an Australian tertiary or research institution to observe or participate in a research project.

If you intend to accept the invitation and apply for a subclass 419 visa, it is a condition of your visa that you maintain an adequate level of health insurance during your stay. You will need to provide this evidence so that your visa is approved.

Choosing the right Overseas Visitors Cover can be tricky. If you use iSelect, it’s easy.

Our website guides you through a series of questions relating to your health insurance needs and requirements. This will help you to find a policy matching your specific needs. The best part is our service is free of cost.
