Increase in student visa refusals for not meeting the health requirement

The Department of Home Affairs has observed an increase in the number of student visa applications being refused for not meeting the health requirement, after not providing evidence of having completed a health examination.

Where a student visa applicant is required to undertake a health examination, a health request letter is auto-generated when the application is lodged, and gives the applicant28 daysto complete their health examination.

If the applicant has not completed their health examination within the prescribed 28 day period and:

• has not made contact with the Department regarding the health examination; and
• there is no evidence of (or attempts to make) a future health examination booking; and
• there is no evidence of a health examination in progress or pending;

then a decision may be made on the information held.

The Department isnotrequired to send the applicant a further request for information. This approach supports efficient student visa processing and applies to applications lodged both in Australia and outside
Australia.

Please remind students of the need to monitor and respond to requests from the Department of Home Affairs promptly. You can visitHealth (homeaffairs.gov.au)for more information on meeting the health requirements.
