What makes a health waiver case harder?
The health concern is about a child or family member
Everyone in the application usually has to meet the health requirement, so a waiver may be needed for someone other than you.
Your medical reports are out of date
Home Affairs may rely on older information. Recent reports from your treating doctors can make a real difference.
You applied for a protection visa
Protection visas have their own health checks and process. See Health Requirements for Protection Visa 866.
Your visa has already been refused on health grounds
A health refusal can often be taken to the Tribunal, where new evidence can be given. See Partner Visa Health Refusal: Your Options.

Health Waiver Frequently Asked Questions
My health waiver submission is due today. Can you still help?
Yes, if you contact us straight away. Send us the letter now and we will tell you what can be sent before the deadline.
Can I get an Australian visa with a medical condition?
Often yes. Many conditions do not stop a visa, and some visas allow a health waiver when the requirement is not met.
Which visas allow a health waiver?
Partner visas and some other visas allow a health waiver. Many temporary and skilled visas do not, so check your visa before you apply.
What is a Medical Officer of the Commonwealth?
A doctor who assesses your health examinations for Home Affairs and decides whether you meet the health requirement.
What does Home Affairs consider in a health waiver?
Your condition and its likely costs, your ties to Australia, what you contribute, and the effect a refusal would have on your family.
What are my options if my visa is refused on health grounds?
You may be able to apply to the Tribunal and give new medical evidence. See What Are My Options After a Partner Visa Refusal on Health Grounds?
Is there a deadline to appeal a health refusal?
Yes, and it is strict. For many refusals made in Australia, it is 28 days. See Urgent ART Visa Refusal Applications.
