International students over 16 are not eligible for concession travel. You will need to use an eligible credit card or Adult Opal card, which you can purchase from most convenience stores and newsagents. 

Domestic students can apply online for a concession card.  

Find out more about the concession application process and getting to UTS College.

It is best to first seek advice from the Student Accommodation Coordinator in the Student Centre if you need to change your homestay arrangements. They will give you important information about the steps you need to take, and help ensure you are not breaching your visa conditions (if you are an international student).

If you are over the age of 18, you need to give two weeks notice to your host family if you wish to change your arrangements and notify your Homestay Coordinator of your new contact details. 

If you are an international student and under the age of 18 you must live in College approved accommodation (unless you live in accommodation approved by the Department of Home Affairs).

If you asked UTS College to arrange your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), you will have Comprehensive cover through Medibank.

It’s important that you visit the Medibank website or use the Medibank OSHC mobile app to activate your OSHC membership once you arrive in Australia. 

After you activate your membership, your Medibank OSHC card will be sent to your Sydney address, so make sure Medibank has these details. 

If you would like to update your details in person, you can visit the Medibank office. 

Medibank Private office (closest to UTS College)

If you arranged your own overseas student health cover, be sure to contact your health insurance provider as soon as possible after you arrive in Australia. They will help you to activate your cover and provide you with a card.
