With on-site pathology, a pharmacy, and walk-in welcomes, we provide comprehensive, convenient care. Let us be your trusted health partner on the Gold Coast.
Moving to a new country to study is an incredible adventure, but it also comes with new responsibilities—and your health is the most important one. Understanding Australia’s healthcare system and having the right international student health insurance is crucial for your peace of mind and compliance with your visa conditions.
At My Doctors Clinic Surfers Paradise, we are proud to be a trusted medical centre for international students on the Gold Coast. We understand your unique needs and are here to provide comprehensive, accessible, and affordable healthcare throughout your studies.
As an international student in Australia, a mandatory requirement of your student visa is to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). This insurance is designed to help you pay for medical and hospital care you may need while in Australia. It also covers some prescription medicines and emergency ambulance services.
The most common OSHC providers in Australia include:
Our clinic accepts all major OSHC providers, making it easy for you to access the care you need without unnecessary stress. Our experienced administrative staff is well-versed in the intricacies of different health insurance policies for students and can assist with your queries.
Navigating healthcare in a foreign language can be daunting. We’ve built our services around making it simple, convenient, and stress-free for our international patient community.
You don’t always need an appointment when you’re feeling unwell. We welcome walk-in patients every day, ensuring you can see a qualified GP in Surfers Paradise when you need to most. Whether it’s a sudden fever, a minor injury, or travel health advice, our doors are open.
For tests like blood work, urine samples, or other health screenings, you don’t need to travel to a separate lab. Our on-site pathology collection service means faster, more convenient testing and quicker results for you and your doctor.
Need a prescription filled? Our on-site pharmacy means you can see your doctor, get your prescription, and have it filled all in the same location. It’s the ultimate in convenience, saving you time and hassle.
We believe healthcare should be accessible. For many services, we offer bulk billed appointments for patients with valid Medicare or appropriate OSHC coverage. This means no out-of-pocket expense for you at the time of your visit—we bill your insurance provider directly. (Certain specific procedures or private referrals may incur a fee. Always confirm with our reception team).
Our team of doctors has extensive experience treating international students. We are familiar with common health concerns, from travel-related illnesses and mental health support to routine check-ups and university health requirements.
