Do international students need health insurance?

Yes, at both campuses, but the cover is different. Australia: international students on a student visa must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the length of their visa while studying in Australia. The official page explains how to buy it and who is exempt. Malaysia: the Ministry of Higher Education requires every international student to have valid medical insurance for the whole period of study, and proof of it is a condition of the Student Pass. You buy it through Monash University Malaysia, from its appointed insurer, when you apply for your Student Pass, and the fee to renew the pass includes it. A personal policy can only be added on top of it.

How do I go on exchange at Monash?

Australia: exchange runs through Monash Abroad. Eligibility normally depends on your WAM, how much of your course you have completed, and having units that can be credited back. Applications open well before the semester you want to travel in, so check the round dates early. At the Malaysia campus, start from Monash Malaysia's outbound exchange page.
