Immigration Medical FAQs

Immigration medicals are completed at Worldwise Travellers Health Centre - Hamilton, located at the Anglesea Clinic in Hamilton.

Complete the immigration medical form. Once submitted one of our team will contact you to book a time and date that works for you.

An immigration medical appointment generally lasts between 1.5-2 hours from start to finish.

We'll complete the eMedical with you – this includes a health questionnaire, a declaration (which is a legal statement you need to sign), measurements by the nurse (i.e. vision, blood pressure, height and weight), a physical examination by the doctor, urine test, blood test and/or X-ray if required.

Important information to read prior to your appointment

Very important - you are unable to have a Full Immigration Medical if you are menstruating (this is due to the presence of blood in your urine). Please contact us to reschedule your appointment if it falls during your cycle - you will not lose your deposit.

1. Please remember to bring your passport with you (and for all members of your party). We cannot process your medical without it and you will be asked to reschedule.

2. If you are a parent or a guardian accompanying a minor you must also bring your passport and proof of guardianship.

3. If you cannot write or do not understand English you will need to provide your own interpreter for your examination to proceed.
