What Did We Do

We integrated Medibank’s OSHC system into the KONPARE platform so partners can quote, compare, and issue student health cover from a single screen. Pricing updates in real time based on visa duration, cover type, and dependants. Once payment is processed, the certificate is emailed instantly, ready to attach to the student visa application.

Students get the full Medibank ecosystem from day one. That includes the 24/7 Student Health and Support Line, the national retail network, direct-billing clinics, and the Medibank OSHC mobile app.
