Aimee McGuinness, the chief sales officer at Allianz Partners Australia, said the app's launch came at a time of surging demand for mental health support services in the Australian education sector as international students take a hit from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The mental wellbeing of international students is a top priority for us and our education institution partners – it has never been more important to support students in an engaging, relevant, and accessible way,” McGuinness added.

The Allianz Care Mental Wellbeing app is now available for international students with Allianz Care Overseas Student Health Cover, acquired through Allianz Partners' education institution partners.
