What items do Australian immigrants need for physical examination?

Before immigration, many countries need applicants to have a physical examination! The requirements of different countries are different, so let's talk about the precautions for Australian immigrants' physical examination.

In view of Australia's non-discriminatory immigration policy, medical examination requirements apply to applicants from all countries. Unless there are special circumstances, if the applicant fails to meet the medical examination requirements, according to the provisions of the immigration law, the application must be rejected.

Australian visas can be roughly divided into three categories: permanent residence visas, temporary residence visas and bridge visas. Different types of visas have different requirements for physical examination.

All immigration applicants (that is, permanent residence visas) need a physical examination to meet the basic requirements of the immigration law. The applicant's immediate family members must undergo a medical examination.

Whether a temporary visa applicant needs a medical examination depends on his visa type and the length of time to apply for a visa. Generally speaking, people who intend to stay in Australia for more than 12 months need physical examination. If the visa application is less than 12 months, the immigration officer will decide whether a medical examination is needed according to the impact of the applicant's health on his work or others. If the applicant's work or study environment involves schools, hospitals, medical care, food processing, catering, hotels or pharmacies, a comprehensive physical examination is generally required regardless of the visa duration. As for the bridge visa, there is no physical examination problem because it is generally not necessary to apply separately.

Usually, after other materials are submitted to the visa officer, the last item is the physical examination. After reviewing the applicant's immigration application, the Australian Immigration Department will issue the applicant with a medical examination form, requiring the applicant to have a medical examination. Australian doctors will decide whether the applicant meets the health standards according to the submitted medical report. Usually, the applicant can only have a physical examination in a designated hospital, and the medical examination fee is self-care. The main applicant and accompanying applicants, that is, the applicant's spouse and children, must also undergo a physical examination, even if they do not go to Australia with the main applicant.
