Oberhauser was born in Vienna.[1] In 2014, she became a minister in the Social Democrat-Christian Conservative coalition government of then-Chancellor Werner Faymann. She continued as Minister for Health when Christian Kern took over the coalition two years later.[2] The same year, she became the Minister for Women. She made her diagnosis of abdominal cancer public in 2015.[2]

Oberhauser was married and had two daughters.[1]

Oberhauser entered hospital in February 2017 for treatment of a ventricular fuse, and announced on 15 February that Alois Stöger would stand in for her during her illness.[2] However, her condition soon deteriorated and she died a week later, on 23 February 2017. She was 53.[1] She was cremated at Feuerhalle Simmering; her ashes are buried in Hietzing Cemetery in Vienna.
