Both female and male doctors are available and consultations are usually covered by Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
University Health direct bills to OSHC Worldcare - your OSHC Worldcare health cover pays for services provided there. Direct billing is an arrangement between a health insurance provider and a doctor (or other medical facility), where the doctor sends bills for services directly to your health insurance company. This means that you do not have to put in a separate claim with your insurance company.
There are other medical practices in Adelaide that direct bill to OSHC Worldcare - please contact the ISC for more information. Alternatively, just ask the doctor you plan to visit whether they have any direct billing arrangements with your healthcare provider.
