Immigration to Australia physical examination program

The Australian government has set strict health standards to prevent successful skilled immigrants from spending too much on medical insurance.

For these new immigrants who treat certain special diseases as permanent residents, Australia has stipulated the principle of "one person fails, the whole family fails". Therefore, after the basic examination of the applicant's immigration application is completed, the Australian Immigration Department will issue a medical examination form to the applicant and ask the applicant to submit a medical examination report. Australian doctors will decide whether the applicant meets the health standards according to the submitted medical report. Under normal circumstances, the applicant can only have a physical examination in a hospital recognized by the Australian Immigration Department, and all the medical examination expenses are borne by the applicant himself. The applicant's spouse and children must have a physical examination, even if they are not going to Australia with the main applicant. There are 17 recognized hospitals in China: Beijing Asia International Emergency Rescue Medical Center, Beijing United Family Women and Children Hospital, Beijing Friendship Hospital (Australia) Global Telemedicine Network, Guangzhou Sun Yixian Memorial Hospital, Guangzhou International Travel Health Care Center, Guangzhou International SOS Rescue Center, Shanghai Ruixing International Medical Center, Shanghai Seafarers Hospital, China People's Liberation Army 455th Army Hospital (Shanghai), Fujian Provincial Hospital and Shandong Province. Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital, Nanjing SOS International Medical Clinic, Shenyang International Travel Health Care Center, Second Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University (Shenyang), Xinjiang International Travel Health Care Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.

The medical examination fee is usually 800-950 yuan RMB.

Physical examination contents include:

1. Height, weight, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, skin, reproductive system (including signs of sexually transmitted diseases), signs of drug abuse, facial features and vision.

2. circulatory system. All applicants over 16 years old (including 16 years old) need to have their blood pressure measured. Applicants under the age of 40 who have repeatedly measured their blood pressure above 140/90 must attach a diagnosis report from a cardiologist.

3. Respiratory system. If the applicant is currently or used to be a tuberculosis patient, the date of illness, the duration of treatment and the name, efficacy and dosage of the drug used must be provided.

4. Are you pregnant?

5. Urine analysis. If protein or glucose is found in urine, it must be checked immediately. If the re-examination results prove that it contains substances other than protein or glucose, and a simple explanation cannot be made, it is necessary to obtain and attach the urine microscope culture results and sensitivity, serum creatine or glucose data.

6. Blood test of hepatitis B antigen.

7. HIV testing. If the applicant shows clinical symptoms, further enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, transfer printing and particle agglutination test are needed.

8. Chest X-ray. Pregnant women can ask not to have a chest X-ray examination, but the application can be postponed until the physical examination is completed after delivery.

If the doctor finds that there is a disease in the lungs, he will explain all the abnormal symptoms in the chest in detail.

The Australian Immigration Department is most concerned about whether the applicant has diseases induced by tuberculosis, hepatitis B, AIDS and obesity. Doctors in designated hospitals give advice to applicants for physical examination. They will send the medical report and chest X-ray photos directly to the Australian Immigration Department, and the other party will transfer these materials to the local doctor, who will finally decide whether the applicant's physical condition meets the immigration standards. If the above diseases or any problems are found, the Immigration Bureau will generally ask the applicant to have another physical examination, which must be carried out in the original medical examination hospital and cannot be changed to another hospital. The second interview can be comprehensive or specified. The re-inspection must usually be completed within 48 days after the re-inspection letter is issued. It takes three months for Australian doctors to give the results, which means that if a re-examination is needed, the immigration application will be approved three months later than usual.

If symptoms are still found in the second physical examination, such as hepatitis B activity and AIDS activity, the applicant will be required to take suggested treatment, such as taking medicine and losing weight, or sign an application for regular review after going to Australia, and then issue a permanent residence visa. It is free to go to Australia for regular review.

The Australian government has no compulsory immunization regulations for applicants, but it is strongly hoped that applicants with children will be vaccinated against tuberculosis, whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, mumps, measles and rubella before going to Australia, and bring their immunization records with them to Australia for the convenience of children after entering the country.
