Australian immigrants' audit requirements for Australian physical examination

Australian health requirements aim at:

1. Minimize public health and safety risks in the Australian community.

2. Effectively control public expenditure on health and community services, including Australian social security benefits, allowances and pensions.

3. Ensure that Australian residents have access to medical care and other community services.

According to Australia's global non-discrimination immigration policy, health requirements are equally applicable to all applicants in all countries, although the type of health examination required will vary according to each applicant's specific situation.

So who needs a physical examination?

1. Permanent visa applicant

All permanent visa applicants, including the principal applicant, partner and any family members, must be assessed according to health requirements. Even if the visa application does not include the applicant's partner and family members, it must be evaluated according to the health requirements.

Applicants applying for a permanent visa will be required to have a physical examination, an X-ray examination when they are 1 1 or above, an HIV/AIDS test when they are 15 or above, and any other examination required by the Ministry of Medical Assistance and Health (MOC).

2. Temporary visa applicants

Applicants for temporary visas may need chest X-rays or other examinations, depending on their stay in Australia, their expected activities in Australia, the level of tuberculosis risk in their country and other factors.

In order to avoid threatening Australia's public health system or safety, or excessively increasing the Australian government's expenditure on health or welfare, the Australian Immigration Bureau will pay more attention to the examination of the applicant's health status when examining immigrant visas. Once diseases are detected, including (but not limited to) gender, AIDS, severe kidney disease or heart disease, high-risk infectious diseases, etc. The immigration officer will make a ruling on the applicant's immigration application.

Types of diseases in Australian visa medical examination:

The medical examination policy for Australian immigrants is very strict. If any person in a family fails the physical examination, the application of the whole family will be rejected. Generally speaking, the diseases within the scope of Australian immigrants' visa refusal are infectious diseases, mainly including:

1, AIDS

AIDS is considered as a high-risk disease at home and abroad, so even HIV carriers are often refused visas by the Australian Immigration Bureau.

2. Pneumonia and tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is one of the serious diseases that Australian immigrants pay close attention to in physical examination. Usually, applicants need to do sputum culture for three consecutive days. If the result is negative, it proves that his sputum has no active mycobacterium tuberculosis and is not contagious to the public. After three months, the X-ray film is reviewed, which proves that his tuberculosis focus is stable and has no recurrence, and he can pass.

Step 3: syphilis

Syphilis is also a key disease monitored by Australian immigrants. If syphilis antibody is found positive in physical examination, the whole standardized course of treatment must be completed in strict accordance with the relevant medical plan of the Ministry of Health under the supervision and guidance of the physical examination doctor. This not only ensures that patients can cure the disease and eliminate its infectivity, but also does not affect visa approval.

4. Cancer/diabetes

Because medical care in Australia is free, in order to reduce the burden of new immigrants on the local medical system, visas will be refused for some diseases with high medical expenses.

5. Hepatitis B

The Australian Health Bureau believes that the risk of new immigrants spreading hepatitis B is very small. However, if you are:

▲ pregnant women;

▲ adopted children;

▲ Unaccompanied minor refugees.

If the test result is only "big three yang" or "small three yang", and the doctor has not found the clinical symptoms of acute or chronic hepatitis, and the liver function test is normal, it can be diagnosed as "healthy carrier of hepatitis B virus". The Australian Immigration Bureau will advise such applicants to observe regularly, which will not affect the issuance of their Australian immigrant visas.
