Visa medicals in Australia

[blobby1000]

Applying for permanent residency and wondered if anyone had experience of medicals in Australian?

 

What happens!?

 

Thanks:goofy:

Hi There,

My wife and I had ours done at medibank in Perth. It cost about $330 each.

It involved 2 visits, the first to see the nurse for blood test, height, weight, chest x ray and urine test. The second visit the doctor looks at the test results and gives you a basic once over. Breathing, reflexes, motor function, blood pressure.

They send the results and everything else straight to DIAC, they did give us the option to take them oursleves, but we just asked for them to be sent to Adelaide.

Don't forget to take your Passports........

Very smooth process, very nice offices and consulting room.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Blobby 1000

 

I first of all had to book and attend an X-Ray appointment (approx $85)

I then had to attend my medical ($253)

they checked height, weight, eyes, reflexes, blood presure heart a basic health check

at the same time i went to seperate dept for blood tests ($33)

 

Its all straight forward just make sure you take the right forms with you to both X-Ray and medicals otherwise you wont get an appoinment..oh and as already said above, passports!

 

i just recieved a further bill too from the pathology dept who took blood tests, apparantly due to my results needing further tests...apparanatly immigration protocol

 

hope this helps
