How quickly can I get an immigration medical done?
We can normally get you in within a week of getting touch with us. It then takes approximately 2 working days to receive and review all of the results.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
You are welcome to cancel your appointment with no penalty up to 24 hours before your appointment time. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment time, then a $70 fee applies.
What do I need to bring to the appointment?
You will need to bring:
I need an interpreter?
If you cannot speak fluent English then you will need an interpreter. This cannot be a family member or relative. We can arrange for an interpreter if required. Please let us know when booking the appointment so that this can be arranged.
There is an additional cost to you for an interpreter.
What happens during an immigration medical?
Your medical will be in two parts. Time with a Nurse and a consultation with a Doctor. We endeavour to make these appointments one after the other, but depending on your urgency this may not always be possible.
The Nurse consultation will take approximately 30 minutes. During this time, we will complete the required questionnaire about your health, as well as take measurements of your height and weight.
We’ll also do the following tests:
Urine Test
This is required from all applicants 5 years of age and older.
(If you are female, please note that this test cannot be taken during your period and 4-6 days after. To save you the inconvenience of having to repeat the test, please book your appointment with this in mind.)
We recommend drinking a glass of water half an hour before your appointment to prepare for the urine test.
What happens during the doctor consultation?
Your consultation with a doctor will take approximately 30 minutes. This is a full physical examination, during which time you may need to remove all clothing except your underwear. The examination will involve physical contact with the doctor.
If you’re a woman over the age of 45 you will also require a breast examination, unless you've had one of the following within the last six months and can provide the results of the exam:
Your comfort is important to us so let us know at the time of booking if you prefer either a male or female doctor. You may wish to have a chaperone, please let us know.
