You will be required to pay your OSHC to Griffith University when you accept your offer to attend Griffith. Griffith will only release your enrollment documentation, required for your visa application, after payment for OSHC is received. You will be charged $185 per semester* (fees are subject to change). Students not wanting the university to arrange their coverage, may do so independently with one of these four health insurance providers in Australia.
