On October 18, the Australian Immigration Bureau’s official website announced the physical examination requirements for exempting some applicants from temporary residence visas. Note: This requirement is for applicants already in Australia only.
If you have made an appointment for a physical examination and paid the physical examination fee, but have not yet undergone a physical examination, the relevant department will notify the applicant that the appointment will be cancelled and the fee will be refunded.
However, if the applicant has completed the physical examination, even if the fee cannot be refunded within the scope of exempting the physical examination requirements, the Immigration Bureau will conduct the trial in accordance with the usual way.
This arrangement is only applicable to applicants of the following visas, and only applies to the situation where they are already in Australia:
At the same time, the Immigration Bureau also stated that this is only a temporary measure, targeting applications that have been submitted to the Immigration Bureau and new applications that have been submitted in Australia. In early 2023, this provision will be reviewed.
