A summary of the physical examination of Australian study visa

Australian study visa physical examination items:

The items of physical examination for Australian students are relatively simple, usually routine examinations (height, weight, vision, hearing, etc. ), X-ray examination, urine test. If the courses students attend are related to doctors, nurses and teachers, blood tests are also needed.

Three common diseases

The most common diseases that have great influence on immigration application are tuberculosis, hepatitis B and AIDS.

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 the X-ray shows tuberculosis (with calcified spots or calcified nodules), further examination is needed to determine whether it is active and whether it has been properly treated. In this process, the usual practice is to send the physical examination results back to the Australian headquarters for collective entrance examination. There are three kinds of results:

1. Those who are diagnosed as active after further examination or have not received proper treatment must be treated comprehensively.

2. For those who are diagnosed as inactive or treated properly, the Immigration Bureau will generally release them after the applicant signs a letter of guarantee for regular inspection. This process takes 1 month.

3. It has been confirmed that he has fully recovered. This process takes 1 month.

As Chinese mainland is listed as a high incidence area of tuberculosis in Australia, all applicants with calcified spots or calcified nodules in X-ray findings will be sent to the Australian headquarters for joint examination, so applicants need not worry.

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 tests are generally carried out through blood tests, and HIV blood tests are generally not carried out when studying abroad. All applicants for permanent residents aged 16 or above must have blood tests to determine whether they are AIDS patients. /kloc-adopted children under 0/6 years old or those with a history of blood transfusion also need physical examination.

judicial procedure

Physical examination will generally be conducted 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. However, in some cases, especially the application submitted in China, the applicant can also have a physical examination before submitting the application. Immigration officials may not approve the visa application unless they receive the medical examination results. In some cases, although the applicant's physical condition will not pose a threat to the health and safety of others, if the treatment of the disease will bring significant economic burden to the community or affect the use of relevant medical equipment by Australians, the relevant immigration application may still be rejected.
