6 OVERSEAS STUDENTS HEALTH COVER (OSHC) > All international students are required to pay the visa length OSHC for

themselves and all dependent members of their family staying with them in Australia.

> If you are currently studying in Australia and wish to renew your membership with your provider by yourself, you must provide a copy of your health fund membership records showing your name, membership number, OSHC provider and date of expiry. You should be aware of the benefits/coverage you purchase if you make your own arrangements.

> TAFE NSW receives a commission from the health insurance provider for processing your OSHC payment.

7 INFORMATION REGARDING A DISABILITY (SECTION 10 OF THE APPLICATION)

> If you have a disability, relevant information is requested to establish whether you require the provision of additional services or facilities not required by students who do not have a disability.

> After consideration of your requirements, if the provision of these services or facilities would impose “unjustifiable hardship”, for example, a very high cost on TAFE NSW, your enrolment may be refused or additional fees may apply. You will be advised in writing of our decision.

> The provision of additional services or facilities should not be seen as a guarantee of successful completion of a course. TAFE NSW reserves the right to terminate a student’s enrolment if the provision of reasonable adjustment is unsuccessful and further provision of services or facilities is determined as unjustifiable hardship.

8 PROVIDER DEFAULT > If TAFE NSW is unable to deliver the accepted course at the agreed

location, you will be o�ered a refund of the unused portion of the pre-paid fees. The refund will be paid to you within 2 weeks from the day you are advised of the course cancellation. Alternatively, you may be o�ered enrolment in another course/location by TAFE NSW.

> If an alternative course/location is o�ered, you have the right to choose whether you would prefer a refund of the unused course fees paid or to accept the place in the new course/location. If you choose to accept the new course/location, TAFE NSW will ask you to sign the acceptance of o�er for the new course/location. In this case, the obligations of TAFE NSW would be discharged.
