Not feeling well? In Australia, you’ll have plenty of support to get you back on your feet and in good health.
Who do I see if I’m sick?
If you’re sick, head to the nib App. From here, you’ll be able to book an appointment with a General Practitioner (also known as a GP). A GP is a doctor who is licensed to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions and illnesses. You can speak to a GPs online via telehealth (which involves a phone or video-call with a doctor and completing your appointment remotely), which can be easily arranged through the nib App, or in person at medical clinics.
You can also organise a medical certificate, which you may need to show your education provider or employer to prove your illness. If you’d prefer an in-person appointment, use our Find a Provider tool to search nib’s network of health professionals in your area. Visits to your GP are covered by nib Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
TIP
When you’re ready to claim your visit, you can do so instantly through the nib App so you can get your refunds back faster.
