This website is dedicated to making it easier for Australians to embark on postgraduate study in Europe.

As well as providing a host of links to relevant websites in Europe and Australia ASiE also undertakes research and consultation with the EU Commission, European governments and a great number of universities and foundations. The aim is to produce and update as much as possible all information concerning grants and scholarships available to Australian students seeking to pursue doctoral studies in Europe.

 
 

Healthcare & Insurance


As a general rule non EU citizens are expected to take out  private health insurance before leaving their home country and to obtain a consular declaration of its validity for Italy.

Medical and pharmaceutical assistance for foreigners in Italy is regulated by international agreements and treaties. Australia has an agreement with Italy whereby Australian citizens are entitled to use the Italian National Health Service (Servixio Sanitaria Nazionale) for the first six months after their arrival.

This covers them for Medical treatment, including specialist services at public or other authorised hospitals and clinics Treatment as a hospital patient in public and authorised hospitals only Immediately necessary dental treatment at public hospitals Note that you may still need to pay for medicines, diagnostics and other tests To use these entitlements you could be required to provide proof of your citizenship.

In general terms note that all Non-EU students must have a health insurance policy; this may be made either after your  their arrival in Italy, with a private Italian insurance company, or before their departure with an insurance company here; in this second case, students had better contact the Italian Embassy for further up to date information on existing agreements on medical assistance.
