The 8501 visa condition on 600 visa, and 870 visa means you need to get adequate health insurance before you come to Australia.
What is the 8501 visa condition?
This condition means you need to take out adequate health insurance before coming to Australia. The Australian government's immigration website says that "you must have and maintain adequate health insurance for the whole of your stay in Australia" if you are subject to the 8501 visa condition. Most Australian visas come with the 8501 visa condition.
How can I meet the 8501 visa requirement?
You can meet the 8501 visa health insurance requirement by taking out Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC) at our website 600 Visa Insurance. This is a type of health insurance designed specifically for visa holders coming to Australia temporarily for example parents who are coming to Australia on 600 visa or 870 visa and need to maintain health insurance as a visa requirement.
The start date of your 600 Visitor Visa Health Insurance or 870 Sponsored Parent Visa should be your proposed arrival date in Australia.
