High Commission address: Australia House, Strand, London WC2B 4LA

Health Information

Clients applying at the London office will be advised of the health requirement once they have lodged an application. It is no longer possible for clients to undertake medicals or radiological examinations before lodging an application.

Once you have lodged an application your case officer will advise if any examinations need to be undertaken. If you are required to undertake a medical and/or radiological examination you must attend a panel doctor/radiologist designated by the Australian Government. Details of panel doctors and radiologists can be found through the links below.

See: UK Panel Doctor List & Irish Panel Doctor List

All medicals and radiological examinations in the UK and Ireland are completed electronically (there are no forms to complete).

For general information in regard to the Health Requirement you may refer to the following information.

See: Form 1071i Health requirement for permanent entry to Australia
See: Form 1163i Health requirement for temporary entry to Australia
See: Aged Visitor Health Check (over 75 years)

Medical Procedures

All applicants are required to present their passport to the panel doctor when undertaking medicals. Do not send your passport to us if you have not already undertaken any medicals you may be required to do.

Panel doctors are not authorised to return medical results to you. The Australian government requires all medical results to be sent directly to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Electronic medical results are automatically sent to your case officer (within 24 hours).
