Popular knowledge on physical examination for Australian immigrants

#Australianimmigration# Introduction Before immigrating, many countries require applicants to undergo a physical examination! Each country has different requirements. Below, Kao.com will introduce you to the medical examination knowledge for Australian immigrants. Welcome to read!

In view of Australia’s non-discriminatory immigration policy, medical examination requirements apply to applicants from all countries. Unless there are special circumstances, if the applicant cannot meet the requirements of the medical examination, the application must be rejected in accordance with the provisions of the immigration law.

Australian visas can be roughly divided into three categories: permanent residence visa, temporary residence visa and bridging visa. Different types of visas have different requirements for medical examinations.

All immigration applicants (i.e. permanent residence visa) are required to undergo a medical examination to meet the basic requirements of immigration law. The applicant’s immediate family members must undergo a physical health examination.

Whether temporary visa applicants need a physical examination depends on their visa category and the length of time they are applying for the visa. Generally speaking, if you plan to stay in Australia for more than 12 months, you need to undergo a medical examination. If the visa applied for is less than 12 months, the immigration officer will decide whether a medical examination is required based on the impact of the applicant's health condition on his or her job or others. If the applicant works or studies in an environment involving schools, hospitals, medical care, food processing, catering, hotels or pharmacies, etc., a comprehensive physical examination is generally required regardless of the length of the visa. As for the bridging visa, since it generally does not require a separate application, there is no physical examination problem.

Usually after other materials are submitted to the visa officer, the last item is the physical examination. After the applicant's immigration application is reviewed, the Australian Immigration Department will send the applicant a physical examination form and require the applicant to undergo a physical examination. A local Australian doctor will determine whether the applicant meets the health standards based on the submitted physical examination report. Usually, applicants can only undergo physical examination at designated hospitals, and the physical examination expenses are borne by themselves. The main applicant and accompanying applicants, that is, the applicant's spouse and children, must also undergo a medical examination, even if they are not going to Australia with the main applicant.

Physical examination content:

Basic items: height, weight, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, skin, reproductive system (including signs of sexually transmitted diseases), signs of drug abuse, facial features, and visual acuity.

Circulatory system: All applicants over 16 years old (including 16 years old) need to have their blood pressure measured. If the blood pressure of applicants under 40 years old exceeds 140/90 after repeated measurements, they must attach Diagnostic report from a cardiologist.

Respiratory system: If the applicant is currently or has been a patient with tuberculosis in the past, the date of illness, duration of treatment, and the name, potency, and dosage of the drugs used must be provided.

Whether you are pregnant

Urinalysis: If protein or glucose is found in the urine, it must be checked immediately. If retest results confirm the presence of the above proteins or glucose and a simple explanation cannot be made, urine microscopic culture results and sensitivity, serum creatine or glucose data must be obtained and attached.

Hepatitis B antigen blood test

Immunodeficiency virus test: If the applicant shows clinical symptoms, further enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, transfer, and particle agglutination tests are required.

Chest X-ray: Pregnant women can request that they do not want to take a chest X-ray, but the application for Australian immigration may be postponed until after delivery and until the Australian immigration physical examination is completed.
