The 2025 State of Student Healthcare Report (SOSH) is the third edition of Allianz Partners Australia’s annual research initiative examining how cost of living pressures, health literacy, social connection and English language confidence intersect to shape student outcomes.

Designed to inform universities, policymakers, insurers and sector leaders, SOSH offers evidence-based insight to support stronger, more responsive student wellbeing strategies across Australia’s international education sector.

Foodbank market stall

In response to the escalating cost-of-living crisis, Allianz Partners Australia formed a strategic partnership with Foodbank Australia to shed light on food insecurity among international students. This collaboration aims to raise awareness and eliminate barriers to accessing basic food supplies.

In 2024, Allianz Partners Australia hosted eight student food market stalls at Australian universities across QLD, NSW, ACT, and VIC, providing over 46,000kg of food—including fresh produce, pantry staples, and hygiene products—to more than 4,500 students. To understand the broader impacts of food insecurity, international students were surveyed at the events, gathering key insights are featured in the 2025 International Student Food Insecurity Impact Report.
