UNDERTAKE YOUR MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS BEFORE YOU LODGE YOUR STUDENT APPLICATION

 

PRE-LODGEMENT HEALTH EXAMINATIONS AVAILABLE

All Student visa applicants mush meet the health requirement in order to travel to Australia. To allow visa applications to be processed as fast as possible, we encourage students to undertake their medicals with one of our panel doctors prior to lodgeing the student application.

How does pre-lodgement medical processing work?

Students wishing to undertake their medical assessment before they lodge their student visa application should do the following:

1) Make an appointment with one of our approved panel doctors.

2) Complete the "Applicant's details" section of forms 26 and 160 which can be obtained from our Australian Visa Application Centres or download free of charge from the internet:

Form 26 - Medical Examination for an Australian Visa, see: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/26.pdf

Form 160 - Radiological report on chest x-ray of applicant for an Australian Visa, see: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/160.pdf

3) Attach passport sized photos to the top right hand corner of each form.

4) Attend the appointment with the panel doctor ensuring that their already completed forms and their Vietnamese passport as identification* are taken.
