Temporary visa applicants in Australia will not be required to undertake medical examinations and chest x-rays, based on their nationality, previous residence and proposed length of stay, in order to meet the health requirement.

If you have already made a health examination appointment with Bupa Medical Visa Services and have not yet attended it, your appointment may be cancelled and refunded. Bupa will contact you via SMS to advise you of this. Do not contact Bupa to cancel your appointment yourself. If you are not advised that your appointment has been cancelled, you should attend if possible.
This arrangement applies to applicants for the following visa subclasses, and only if you are already in Australia:
401 - Temporary Work (Long Stay Activity)
403 - Temporary Work International Relations
405 - Investor Retirement
407 - Training
408 - Temporary Activity
410 - Retirement
