International Students Health Cover

While you are enrolled at ICMS, you are required by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), to hold approved health cover (Overseas Student Health Cover) for the full duration of your studies - whether that be 1 term, 3 years or more. Some of you may have chosen to arrange your own cover, but for those who have requested ICMS to arrange it for you, here is some useful information to assist you during your commencement at the College.
