Australia: New Health Requirements for Temporary Visa Applicants
Effective March 28, application forms for any temporary Australian visa must meet new health requirements, the Australian Visa Bureau reports. The working holiday visa and the holiday visa are affected by these changes. Changes to the health requirements include:
- revised “country risk levels” for tuberculosis;
- changes to “classroom requirements” for applicants seeking to work in the education industry; and
- tests for applicants seeking to study as a dentist, nurse or doctor.
The revised health requirements and the revised health procedures advice manual are available on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website.
