Prepare the examination from the actual Home Affairs referral, including its HAP ID. An ordinary health check arranged independently should not be assumed to complete the immigration process.
Check the health instructions attached to the application
Home Affairs explains that a requested examination comes with a list of examinations and a HAP ID used for booking. Outside Australia, examinations must be performed by an approved panel physician or clinic. Its guidance gives a separate provider process for examinations inside Australia. Read Australian Home Affairs: Arrange your health examinations.
Your working sheet
The following is an editorial organisation tool, not an official application checklist. Copy the rows that help and fill them with your own verified records.
| Check | What to record |
|---|---|
| Referral | Check the applicant HAP ID examination list and requested timeframe |
| Provider | Use the official approved-provider information for the location |
| Preparation | Ask the clinic about identity referral and relevant medical records |
A practical example
Imagine two family members need examinations. Their booking sheet should keep each person's HAP ID and referral separate. A clinic booking under one identifier should not silently mark the whole family complete.
Before the next step
If the requested timing cannot be met, Home Affairs directs applicants to notify the department through the stated process. Follow the individual referral and clinic instructions. Keep attendance and any follow-up correspondence, while leaving the health decision to the immigration process.
