Allianz Care, a division of Allianz Partners, has launched a refreshed Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC) portfolio, including a new product called 'Everyday Care Workers' designed to offer affordable health insurance for Australia's international workforce. The product starts at AUD 93 per month for single policyholders and includes uncapped general practitioner (GP) visits and admitted hospital benefits.
Responding to Cost-of-Living Pressures
The launch follows customer research by Allianz Partners that identified a growing segment of recent graduates and skilled workers seeking affordable GP access without the higher costs of specialist coverage. The 2025 State of Student Healthcare Report revealed that 85% of respondents underestimated the cost of living. With over 59% of international students planning to stay in Australia after graduation, the Everyday Care Workers product directly addresses this shift by offering a streamlined, cost-effective health cover option.
Growing Demand for Migrant Health Coverage
Demand for such coverage continues to rise. In 2025, 133,891 temporary graduate visas were issued, an increase of over 7% from 124,687 in 2024. This sustained demand for skilled migration underscores the importance of affordable health insurance as international students transition into the Australian workforce.
International students and workers also contribute significantly to Australia's economy. According to the Australian Government Department of Education, international education was worth nearly AUD 55.0 billion to the Australian economy in 2025. The Business Council of Australia estimates that for every 1,000 migrants, there is approximately AUD 124 million in economic value per year.
Commitment to Clear, Flexible Coverage
"Allianz Care has a long history of supporting international communities in Australia," said Miranda Fennell, Executive Head of Health, Allianz Partners Australia. "These updates demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing health insurance that's clear, flexible, and truly focused on care, whether supporting international students transitioning from their studies into the workforce or welcoming international workers and visitors to Australia."
The product launch is part of a broader refresh of Allianz Care's OVHC range, featuring simplified product names and a redesigned online purchasing experience. The updates make it easier for international visitors and workers to compare plans, understand inclusions, and choose cover aligned with their visa, lifestyle, and budget.
