What do I need to do to become an eHealth enabled clinic?
If you are interested in becoming an eHealth enabled clinic, please contact Health Strategies and Coordination Section by filling out our eHealth enquiry and feedback form.

The department's future vision is for almost all visa applicant health examinations to be processed electronically (that is, using eHealth), so panel doctors who are already eligible are encouraged to come online as soon as possible.
