Migration Medicals.
This should be read in conjunction with your detailed
instructions from either the Australian or New Zealand
High Commissions.
Appointments can be made by phone during normal surgery
hours (except on Saturdays)
X-rays must be performed PRIOR to the medical examination
and the report and X-rays brought to the examination.
The Radiology department at Kingston Hospital does them
between 9:00 11:30am + 2:00 3:30pm
on a turn up and wait basis.
It is not possible to get the X-ray done in the same
half day as the medical but getting the X-ray
in the morning and the medical in the afternoon is OK.
Blood tests (HIV for Australia and Syphilis for New
Zealand) are taken on site and processed at Kingston
Hospital.
You will be expected to provide a urine specimen during
this examination.
It is requested by the Australian Authorities, that female applicants undergo a breast examination. It is not mandatory. If you are unhappy with this, please let the reception staff or doctor know. A chaperone will be offered.
If you are coming from some distance, especially for
early morning appointments, please leave plenty of time
as the traffic, especially during term time, can be
dreadful.
