Medicare does not cover dental services unless you have a chronic condition, complex care needs or you are the holder of a Health Care card. As a local student you can take out private health insurance to cover dental services.

Standard Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) does not cover dental services, but international students have the option of extending their coverage to include dental treatment.

Many dentists offer discounts to full-time students. Confirm when making your appointment and make sure you take your student card with you.
