What is the difference between the medical examination items of temporary residence visa and permanent residence visa in Australia?

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.

Three common diseases: Tuberculosis, hepatitis B and AIDS are the common diseases that have the greatest impact on immigration application.

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:

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 the age of 0/6 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.
