When you apply for an Australian visa, no matter which one you are applying for, you and all the members of your family have to be examined by medical professionals. This also includes dependents who may not live with you and who are not traveling with you to Australia. If you, or any of your dependants do not meet the health requirements, it is likely that your visa will not be approved.
So, what examinations make up the medical assessment? Normally, a general medical exam, a chest radiograph and some laboratory tests are requested. This usually takes some time and all the medical fees will be your responsibility. The results you get from these exams are valid just for one year.
For the reason mentioned above, you have to be careful not to make an appointment with a doctor immediately after lodging your Australian partner visa application. The sensible thing to do in most cases is to wait until you are contacted by your case officer, who (in some cases) will not even have you take a medical exam.
Another important aspect you have to take into account is deciding on a doctor. You had better contact your nearest Australian embassy, and request a list of approved medical practitioners in your area.
If you're pregnant, you may choose not to be x-rayed until after your child is born. This, however, might delay your application for a visa.
There are certain medical conditions that will probably cause your visa application being refused:
- Tuberculosis
- Other conditions that require treatment, support or assistance that the Australian authorities consider to be in short supply, or have a high cost.
If you're applying in the country, you should visit the health care system Medibank Solutions to request an appointment. It's recommended to do this before you lodge your Australian partner visa application. If you live in a rural area you can contact the Department of Immigration to request more information.
If you're applying overseas, in some cases you can be medically examined before you lodge your application. This will allow you to lodge a complete, valid application, which will help speed up your processing time. This service, however, is not available in all countries, so I would recommend you contact your nearest Australian Embassy for more information on how to do this.
Normally, your medical results will be asked 6 months after your application has been received. However, this period can be drastically affected by various factors, so each case is unique.
