Changes to health requirements - Australia visa
Message from the Australian High Commission in Pretoria
As of 20 November 2015 the health requirements have changed when applying for a Australian visitor visa.
They are as follows:
- If a person will be staying in Australia for 6 months or more, or special significance applies (e.g. entering hospital etc.) – both an x-ray and medical examination will be required.
- If they are staying less than 6 months – no health exams are required (including no chest x-rays).
- Please note that over 75’s will only require medicals if they are visiting Australia for more than 6 months or if they have a current medical condition of concern.
