Sonder: Your Multilingual Safety and Wellbeing App

Sonder is a multilingual safety and wellbeing app that connects you with the Sonder Support Team 24/7, ensuring help is just a tap away, day or night.

If you hold an Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) policy with Allianz Care Australia purchased after 1 February 2020, Sonder is already included.

For students whose OSHC does not include Sonder, great news—you can now register for free!

The Sonder Team is here to support you with concerns related to:

  • Wellbeing
  • Safety
  • Medical needs
  • Mental health
