Health: Medical Check Up

For my Medical Check Up, I had to find the nearest Medibank Health Solutions Clinic via their website as the Department of Immigration stated specifically that all health examinations for onshore applicants has to be done through them.

And because I am doing my medical check up after the 30th of June, I am going to have to pay $317 instead of the $303 if I did it in June.


What I had to do was:
1. ring up the nearest Medibank Health Solutions Clinic
2. make an appointment and get a reference number
3. bring along form 26 and form 160 together with my passport and $317


Cost: Health examination fee $317 + Postage $4.80
Total: $321.80


12th and 15th July update:
At my first appointment, I had my picture taken, paid my check up fee of $317 and waited 10 minutes for my turn. The nurse called me in, had an eye-test where I had to read the alphabets of the chart, got my weight and height measured and had my blood taken.I was then directed to another building to get my chest X-ray done. The whole appointment took just over an hour.

At my second appointment, I had a consultation with a doctor who asked me to perform a few basic physical movements such as touching my toes, walking on my toes, squatting down and so on. The doctor then checked my eyes and asked me a series of questions. I was in the consultation room for only under 15 minutes and I was done. I had to wait for a further 30 minutes while the report was finalised and had to pick up my test results in a sealed envelope to be posted to the Department of Immigration. I'm not sure why they can't do it for me.
