Please Note: The pages on this (Australian Embassy Jordan) website contain information on local documentation requirements, locally produced checklists and advice regarding the main visa programs.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

Detailed information regarding health requirements for visa applicants is explained thoroughly on the Immigration website
See: www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/

Medical examinations conducted overseas are generally only acceptable if conducted by Panel doctors. A Panel doctor is a doctor or a radiologist who has been appointed by the Australian Government to perform medical examinations on visa applicants who have applied from outside Australia.

For a list of Australian Embassy approved Panel Doctors.
See: www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/j/jordan/panel-doctors.htm

When do I visit a Panel doctor?
You should not have your visa medical examination until you have been formally requested to do so by the office processing your visa application.

Do I visit both a Panel doctor and a radiologist?
In most cases, you should attend a Panel doctor first and, if an x-ray is required, the Panel doctor will refer you to a Panel radiologist. In some cases, however, you will be advised by the department that only a radiological examination is required for your visa application. In these instances, the department will supply you with a list of Panel radiologists.

Referrals
In some countries, you may need a referral from a doctor to make an appointment with a radiologist.

Note: If you are advised that only a radiological examination is required for your visa application, you do not need to attend a Panel doctor to obtain a referral.

CHARACTER REQUIREMENTS

You may be required to provide penal clearances to meet our character requirement from countries you have resided in for 12 months or more during the last ten years accumulatively.

For further information on where to obtain these clearances
See: www.immi.gov.au/allforms/character-requirements/
