How is the process in assessing health requirements?
Upon submitting your Australian Partner Visa application, you will be required to undergo a health examination.
The examination result will be assessed by the Medical Officer of the Commonwealth (MOC). Suppose any concerns were found with your health examination, you will be advised in writing by taking into account the services that the person with the same kind and severity of condition would require.
The MOC’s perspective is limited to your medical condition only. Other personal circumstances cannot be taken into account. For instance, the MOC is unable to take into account how using available public services will be impacted by your possession of private health insurance or the ability to pay for treatment.
What if you have a concerning medical condition?
Along with the notification sent by the MOC, the Department of Home Affairs will give you a chance to comment on the findings. This process is called a health waiver.
The health waiver can boost the chance of being granted the Australian Partner Visa.
You would be required to provide evidence of your situation as well as financial evidence and what arrangements have been put into place for your care.
