Recently, the Department of Home Affairs has noted an increase in visa refusals due to failure to provide evidence of completing the necessary Health Examination.
At Brighton College, we understand the significance of clarity and guidance, especially when it comes to navigating the complexities of visa applications for international students. With a commitment to supporting our diverse student body, we take pride in updating essential information regarding health examination requirements.
Health Examination timeline for Student Visa Applications
When you submit your student visa application, a health request letter is automatically generated, giving you 28 days to undergo your health examination. You must adhere to this timeline and complete your examination within the specified period.
If, for any reason, you require additional time for your health examination, please make sure to contact the Department within the designated timeframe. Failure to do so may result in a decision being made based on the information available, without further requests for clarification.
For both on-shore and off-shore Student Visa Applications
Whether you’re applying for your visa from within Australia or outside, this process applies to all applications. We understand that visa processing can be complex, but prompt response to requests from the Department of Home Affairs is essential for a smooth application process.
If you have any questions or concerns about the health requirement or your visa application in general, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us or your Agents. We’re here to support you throughout this process.
For more detailed information on meeting the health requirements, please refer to the health section on the Department of Home Affairs website.
We extend our best wishes for the success of your visa application and your academic pursuits here in Australia.
