Will my health affect my Australian visa application?

When applying for an Australian visa, it's important to understand that your health may play a significant role in the outcome of your application. Australia has strict health requirements for visa applicants to protect the health of the Australian community and prevent undue costs to the healthcare system.

The health requirements for Australian visas vary depending on the type of visa you are applying for, the country of passport, your occupation and individual circumstances.

When a health check is required, the examinations must be conducted by a panel physician who has been approved by the Australian government. The physician will assess your health to determine if you have any medical conditions that could pose a risk to public health or result in excessive healthcare costs.

However, not all health conditions will result in a visa refusal. The Australian government will consider the specific circumstances of your case, including the severity of your condition and the likelihood of you requiring medical treatment while in Australia.
