You should use My Health Declarations if you are intending to apply for a visa within the next few months and the visa that you are intending to apply for is likely to be processed within the next six months. This is particularly encouraged if you are in a country where eMedical processing is available.

If you have completed immigration health examinations in the last 6-12 months, you may wish to lodge your visa application first and then seek your case officer's advice about whether further health examinations are required. My Health Declarations cannot provide this advice.

If you are in Australia and want to complete your health examinations before lodging your visa application you must use My Health Declarations. Medibank Health Solutions will not process your immigration health examinations without a health identifier either from this service or from us after you have lodged your visa application. Panel clinics outside Australian in countries where 100 per cent electronic health processing arrangements are in place will also refuse to give you an appointment to take your health examinations unless you can provide a health identifier. If you are in another country outside Australia and want to complete your health examinations before lodging your visa application, you can still choose to use My Health Declarations. Note: Your health examinations can only be processed electronically if you attend an eMedical clinic.

How My Health Declarations works If you complete the My Health Declarations electronic form, you will be able to create a My Health Declarations account, enter your personal details and complete answers to the health declaration questions. Note: You will need to provide details of a valid passport for each family member listed in My Health Declarations. The details that you provide will then be submitted to us so that we can determine what health examinations you will be required to complete for the visa application that you intend to lodge. The My Health Declarations homepage will subsequently be updated with advice for you as to whether you and any of your family members will be required to complete health examinations. Note: It might take a few minutes for our systems to determine which examinations are required. A message might appear asking you to return to this web page in a few minutes. If this happens, close your internet browser and re-open this web page after a few minutes.

You can include your family members in your My Health Declarations form. Note: In some cases, your case officer will not request health examinations for non-migrating dependants. If this applies to you, we recommend that you wait until after you have lodged your visa application before asking your dependants to complete these health examinations.

If you and all of your family members are not required to complete any health examinations, you will be notified on the My Health Declarations homepage. If you and all of your family are not required to complete any health examinations, you should lodge your visa application. Note: If you proceed to lodge a visa application, you might still need to complete a health examination if your personal circumstances change.

A link to organise health examinations will appear for each person who is required to complete health examinations on the My Health Declarations homepage. Follow the instructions provided to complete your health examinations before lodging your visa application. These instructions apply to each person listed on your application. When you click on the link to organise your health examinations, you will be asked to: record medical history information online before completing your examinations (if a medical examination is required only); consent to having your health examinations recorded electronically in eMedical, our health processing system; and download a referral letter which will contain a health identifier (HAP ID, HRI, TRN) for you and any family members listed in My Health Declarations. Your referral letter will outline which health examinations you are required to complete and enable you to complete these at an approved panel clinic outside Australia or with an approved provider inside Australia. When you make your appointment, provide your HAP ID, HRI or TRN to the panel clinic or onshore health provider and take your referral letter to your medical appointment.

Yes, just use to your My Health Declarations TRN and password to access your existing My Health Declarations form, and click on the organise your health examinations link again.

If you are having any technical difficulties with My Health Declarations, see the user support information available on this page. If you have questions about your health examinations results, you should ask your case officer after you have lodged your visa application.

Your information will be transferred to our Health Assessment Portal (HAP). It will be able to visa and health officers processing your health case and any subsequent visa application(s).

No, but you will need to meet the cost of any required health examinations that you proceed to complete before lodging your visa application

If your circumstances change before you have completed your immigration health examinations, you should tell the panel clinic or onshore provider doctor when attending your medical appointment.
