Health and Medical Requirements

A comprehensive medical insurance (also covering medical expenses) is a must when visiting Australia.

Governments of U.K. , Sweden, Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Malta and Italy have Reciprocal Health Care Agreements with Australia. However, this shall only provide subsidized public health services for medically necessary treatments.

No vaccinations are required unless you have traveled through or come from a yellow fever infected region (within six days of your intended arrival).

No health certificates are required to enter Australia.

Most applicants who have received a permanent, temporary or provisional visa (that lead to the grant of a permanent visa) are required to undergo a medical examination for permanent entry.

Do go through Information Form 1071i Health for permanent entry and Information Form 1163i Health for temporary entry health requirements.

Temporary stay exceeding 12 months requires a medical examination and chest x-ray for citizens belonging to medium, high and very high risk countries.Click here to know your country's risk level.

Health examination for temporary visa applicants may be required if a person is 70 years of age or above, likely to visit health care institution, hospital, school, child care center, suspected to have a medical condition or does not seem to meet health requirements.Click here for further information.

Ensure that you provide correct and accurate information of your medical history and other health queries in your visa application form. Not doing so shall lead to denial of visa.

If you are carrying prescribed medications, they must be clearly labeled and easily identifiable. A doctor's certificate is required if they are in large quantities.
