Why is there a health requirement? 

• Australia enjoys some of the best health standards in the world. In order to maintain these standards, all visa applicants must satisfy health requirements specified in the Migration Regulations before they can be granted a visa for Australia.

Who needs to do a health check?

• Any person who wishes to travel to Australia may be required to undergo a medical check and/or chest x-ray, if the DIMIA office deems that their health may be relevant to the grant of a visa.

• If an applicant plans to stay in Australia for 3 to 12 months, and the applicant is aged 11 years or more, a chest x-ray examination is required.

• If an applicant plans to stay in Australia for more than 12 months, a medical and chest x-ray examination are required.

Special Significance

• All applicants 70 years and older must undergo a medical examination regardless of the intended length of their stay. If the stay is for longer than 3 months an x-ray is also required.

• If an applicant is likely to enter a hospital or health care area or a classroom situation, or be engaged in an Australian childcare center, OR if the applicant is a parent with a “queued” migration application, a medical and/or x-ray will be required.

Processing

• If it seems that an application is likely to be approved, our office will contact the applicant within 10 working days of receiving their application, and request them to collect their medical forms and attend an approved hospital for the examination. The doctor will then send the results directly to our office. If the tests reveal any health concerns, our office must send the results to the Health Assessment Services Australia (HAS) for further advice. Our officers are required by law to accept the advice given by HAS on whether an applicant meets the health requirement. HAS may request an applicant to do further medical checks before a visa can be granted.

How will this affect the processing time of an application?

• If a medical and/or x-ray examination is required, our office will contact the applicant within 10 working days of receiving their application (except student application). It is the responsibility of the applicant to attend the requested examination as soon as possible. 

• If our office needs to refer the examination results to HAS, it may take up to 4 weeks to receive their advice. It is then possible that HAS may request the applicant to undergo further examinations, which may further lengthen the processing time of the application.

49 Day Response time

• When the initial medical or x-ray examination is requested by our office, the results of the tests are required within 49 days( from the date of the medical letter, for student applicants is the data of the PVA letter).

• If a further medical or x-ray examination is requested, applicants must undergo the tests within 49 days( from the date of the medical letter).
  

The hospitals listed below have been approved by the Australian Embassy to examine visa applicants. If you have been referred for a medical examination you must use  one of these hospitals. We recommend that you visit the hospital at least one hour before the closing time specified below.

Please Note: The Embassy will advise you in writing if a medical examination is required and will provide you with the necessary forms at that time.
