Contact the visa officer assigned to your case if you have any questions about your health examination results after your health examination has been submitted.
Outcomes
Your case may be cleared without referral to a MOC if your results show you have no significant health conditions.
If your case is referred, the MOC will assess it and let us know if:
- you meet the health requirement, or
- you will meet the health requirement if you sign a
health undertaking, or
- you don't meet the health requirement
If you don't meet the health requirement, we will not grant you a visa unless a
health waiver is available and exercised.
Validity
The results of your health assessment are usually valid for 12 months. If we ask you to sign a health undertaking, they are valid for 6 months.
More health examinations
Depending on our assessment of your health, we might ask you to have more health examinations. Your visa processing officer will let you know after you lodge your visa application.
