Dental & Optical Deep Dive: Upgrading Beyond OSHC Extras for Long-Term Stays

If you’re an international student or long-term visa holder in Australia, you’ve probably heard of OSHC. But what many people only discover later is that standard OSHC usually doesn’t cover dental or optical care - and that can lead to unexpected expenses.

In this episode, we dive deep into dental and optical Extras, why they matter for long-term stays, and how something as simple as a routine dental check-up or new pair of glasses can quickly become costly without the right cover. We explain what OSHC includes, where it falls short, and how Extras work with popular providers like nib, Allianz Care, Bupa, Medibank, and ahm.

We also unpack waiting periods, annual limits, common exclusions, and practical tips to avoid overpaying. Listen now and compare Extras easily at GetMyPolicy.online to find cover that truly fits your lifestyle.
