    or
  • Global Health
    Address:
    Level 3, 26 Lee Street
    Sydney NSW 2000
    Australia.

Notes:

  • Medicals must not be sent to any other departmental office in Australia.
  • Original medicals must not be given or sent to applicants, migration agents or other parties.

How to identify where to send medicals

Send medicals to a departmental office at an Australian Embassy, Consulate-General, High Commission or Australian Commerce and Industry Office in your country or region in the following circumstances:

  • The client presents a letter from a departmental office that requests a medical examination - send the medicals to the address on this letter.
  • Form 26/160 has a departmental office that is outside Australia listed in the 'Office use only' box - send the results to the office that has been named.
  • The visa subclass is not listed in the table for Global Health.

Send medicals to Global Health in the following circumstances:

  • The medical is for a visa subclass that are listed in the table for Global Health.
    See: Visa Subclasses for Medicals Processed by Global Health
  • Form 26/160 has a departmental office that is in Australia listed in the 'Office use only' box.
    Note: Global Health, Sydney, is the only destination for medicals in Australia.
  • The client advises that they have lodged an eVisa or presents a Form 26/160 with a Transaction Reference Number (TRN), and your clinic is not yet eHealth enabled.
  • Your clinic is 100 per cent eHealth, and you complete paper Form 26/160 because an eHealth exemption letter is provided or you experience system difficulties that cannot be resolved within three working days.
