Hi guys! Need some urgent help regarding medical check up for visa application to Australia. Can i know which clinic or lab is suitable for the medical check up and it is near Subang Jaya area? What kind of test/examinations do i need? And do i have to bring any form there?

My current situation is that i have not gotten any offer letter from my University (UWA) yet although my place is already confirmed there. So, i can't start any visa application yet and my flight is already booked on the 9th Jan. So, i figured i can do this medical check up now, so that i will have my visa by then, just to be safe. I wont be around Malaysia tomorrow onwards, yea, so it's kind of urgent.

Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

how do you know your place is confirmed if you don't have an offer letter?
Anyway since you don't have an offer letter I will also assume that you don't have an eCoE. Without it you can not lodge a visa application and without lodging a visa application first you can not do a medical examination for an Australian visa. When you are applying for visa you will be able to see a list of places you can perform the checks and x-ray at. Choose from the panel clinics there and go. Life Care Diagnostics in MCIS Zurich near Hilton there is a good place. You can fill in answers online before you go for the check up and they will also submit results to immigration online shortening the processing time.
You have to apply for visa first and only then go for medical examination because you need your referral letter with the application's transaction number so the clinic can send your medical report to immigration. You CAN NOT do the medical examination for visa before lodging a visa application.

My place is already confirmed as long i've passed my finals, in which i had. Apparently, there is a delay of some sorts between my university and UWA, so i have not gotten the offer letter yet.

I see, so, i cant do the checkup without the letter? Cause i was thinking of at least doing the blood test first, cause i know this will take days to process, then i can pass the blood report to the panel doctor for reviewing, is this possible? Or must i definitely go to the panel doctors for the full medical examination, blood test and X-rays?

Btw, thanks for replying. Really appreciate it.

As far as DIAC is concerned, your eCoE is the only proof to you being accepted into any Australian educational institution as a student. And to obtain that you will first require a letter of offer from your uni.

Okay, i see. I guess the only thing i can do now is to wait for the letter of offer from UWA then, hopefully i will get it soon. smile.gif

Usually a blood test is not needed unless in certain circumstances where you probably have went to same dangerous level countries recently or got certain illness.

Just a physical examination, blood pressure, urine test and x-rays and this just require a few hours of your time.
The offer letter is not important. What immigrations want is the electronic confirmation of enrollment (eCoE) and you only get that after you get your offer letter, returned a signed response of offer to the university and have payed the deposit of tuition fees to the uni. After you do those stuff the university will usually send an acceptance letter and the eCoE within a week or so.

Anything pertaining to the Medical examination for an Australian Visa MUST be done at an Australian immigration panel clinic.

Oh, i will need a blood test for HepB/HepC cause i will be studying medicine there, it's a requirement for the course i think. But for now, i think i'm just gonna wait for the letter of offer, its basically the only thing i can do..

Thanks so much! smile.gif
