Matters needing attention in Australian visa medical examination

Physical examination is essential for all kinds of Australian visas. Generally speaking, the requirements of general visa medical examination will be relatively relaxed, such as no blood test. If you apply for a PR (green card) or other special visa, the diseases listed below will greatly affect your visa or refuse it.

tuberculosis

All applicants for permanent resident visas and most temporary visas, if they are over 16 years old, need to undergo X-ray examination to determine whether they have tuberculosis. If X-ray shows pulmonary tuberculosis (conclusion: calcified spots or calcified nodules), further examination is needed to determine whether it is active and whether it is treated properly.

hepatitis B

For those who have been diagnosed with hepatitis B, the Immigration Bureau will generally not refuse their application, but refer to the practice of tuberculosis and release them after the applicant signs a regular guarantee.

AIDS

All applicants for permanent residents aged 16 or above must have blood tests to determine whether they are AIDS patients. /kloc-adopted children under the age of 0/6 or those with a history of blood transfusion also need physical examination.

Physical examination procedure

The physical examination of the trial procedure will generally be carried out in the country where the applicant is located, and the hospital designated by the Immigration Bureau will be responsible for the examination. For most applicants, physical examination is time-consuming and expensive, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to applicants and their families. Therefore, the immigration bureau will generally ask for a medical examination after confirming that the applicant meets other legal standards first. In some cases, especially the application submitted in China, the applicant can also have a physical examination before submitting the application.
