Health Checks - signing up

The next part of the visa application to Australia is the Evidence of Health or health check if you prefer.

At the page where you are supposed to upload your supporting documents, you'll find a link titled "Organise your health examinations". This link appears for each and every applicant, so for my family there are 4 separate links. Upon clicking on the link, you will need your TRN (Transaction Reference Number) and password - obtained upon creation of your ImmiAccount and submission of your application.

A medical declaration will appear and once you've completed answering it, a referral letter will be generated. Each letter contains a unique HAP ID which will be used by the clinic to link your medical records to your visa application.

On this page you will find a list of physicians accepted for the purpose of this health check, namely a medical examination, HIV test and X-ray. Notice though that the clinics are Medical, Radiology and Medical and Radiology. Unless you wish to visit two separate clinics, do go for the Medical and Radiology clinic. There are two of them, one in Bedok and the other in Ang Mo Kio.

We used the online booking to arrange our appointments but the next day I received a call informing me that our appointments were canceled. The receptionist suggested that since we are a family and that we wanted to go through the tests together, to send our booking in via email. We were also informed that since we wanted to have our health checks on a Saturday, we could only go to the Bedok branch as the Ang Mo Kio branch did not open on Saturdays. The email address to use is enquiries@sata.com.sg. To be included in the email were pictures of our 4 referral letters.

Sample referral letter with HAP ID blanked out.

More of the health checks later when we have finally completed them.
