Your reports are directly forwarded to the Australian High Commission.

Applicants must carry with them a valid passport for identification at the time of the examination and at the time of the x ray / blood testing. Please note that no other form of identification. is acceptable. Applicants aged 11 years and above are also required to undertake a chest x ray examination. Medical costs are to be borne by the applicant.

If an applicant wishes to expedite processing of his application, he may choose to undergo medical examination early in the application process. This may significantly reduce the application processing time.

It may take up to 2 months from the completion of the medical examination before the Australian High Commission receives advice from HAS.

Medical forms are prepared and provided to the applicant only after the application has been lodged, not before. IT Services will provide all necessary medical forms upon lodgment. Please note that the Australian High Commission does not provide status updates on medical results.
