Health Services Australia Student Visa Medical Examinations include
- Medical Examination by a HSA doctor
- Chest X-ray by HSA or a HSA Approved Radiologist
- Nurse Screening - eye test, height, weight, urine test
Children 10 years and younger normally do not require a Chest X-ray If further tests are requested by the doctor all costs are required to be paid for by the examinee (the person who requires the medical examination, at the time of the examination).
Women examinee's please note:
- If you are menstruating you may need to return after the examination for a repeat urine test.
- If you are pregnant, you will not require a Chest X-ray until the baby is born but you will require a Hepatitis B blood test.
Please note: If you intend to apply for a permanent visa at a later date, please make an appointment for a permanent visa medical examination. You need to be aware that any medicals that you undertake are only valid for visa application purposes for a period of 12 months, or sometimes less, and must be valid at the time that your application is decided. If in doubt contact DIMIA on 131 881 or contact your case officer.
