Medical in Oz for offshore visa

11-13-2006, 07:59 AM

Does anyone know how you go about getting a medical in oz for an
offshore visa? My boyfriend is here on a WHM visa awaiting and currently
awaiting results of his skilled independent. Is there any way he can do
his medical before being asked to save time, as it seems we will be
cutting it close the way things are going.

Health Services Australia (HSA) carry out medicals for Australian
immigration purposes in Australia.
As far as I'm aware as long as he has his file reference number there is
no reason for him not to front load by approaching HSA now.
Be warned though that the medical has limited validity - this may or may
not be a problem depending on the outcome of the medical and how long
it's going to take to process his visa.
