HEALTHCARE
If you become unwell (or get injured), you
can go to the UQ Health Service (UQHS),
a fully accredited general medical
practice that provides comprehensive
and confidential health services for UQ
students.
When you arrive at the Health Service
without an appointment, you will be
assessed by a registered nurse for your
illness on that day; otherwise you can make
a routine appointment with a doctor for
another day.
If you show your UQ student card and
proof of health cover, the Health Service
will bulk bill (direct bill) to Allianz Global
Assistance OSHC. However, you must pay
for any immunisations and medications
prescribed, as these are not covered by
OSHC insurance.
If you are not with Allianz Global
Assistance, you must pay upfront and
reclaim the payment from your own provider.
The dental clinic and optometrist at UQ St
Lucia both offer student discounts.
