Australian hygiene and safety standards are some of the highest in the world. Although there are no extreme safety concerns, we encourage you to exercise caution until you are familiar with your surroundings. During your stay in Australia you will be required to possess the Australian Overseas Health Coverage (OSHC). This cost is included in the price of your CIS program. With this coverage, you can use the same medical services as an Australian citizen. CIS also includes a supplemental comprehensive medical and accident insurance plan with all of our programs.
