Health & Safety

BCA is always concerned with the safety and well being of our students. The predeparture information shared with students includes information about safety and health care available on site.

Medical Insurance

BCA requires that all students have major medical insurance before going abroad.  We will ask you to supply policy information on the BCA Certificate of Health signed by you and your doctor.  You must contact your insurance provider before going abroad to ensure that you are covered while abroad and to learn the procedures to follow if you need medical services.

Obtaining Medical Services in Sydney

Take advantage of the on-campus medical center.  A Macquarie University ID and your Worldcare ASSIST card are needed when visiting a Medical Service on or off campus.

Staying Safe

While you are abroad, it is important to follow the same common-sense safety precautions that you follow at home: never walk alone at night, keep doors locked, do not allow strangers into your housing, and never leave bags or backpacks unattended.
