Has anyone used the "My Health Declarations" system?

[goliveira]

Dear All,

 

I would like to know if anyone here has ever used the My Health Declarations Service to undergo medical examinations before lodging a 189 visa application.

 

If so, I would love to hear some comments on the experience.

 

Thank you.

I did a couple of weeks ago, and it went without a hitch. Would recommend doing it if you want to get the medical out of the way (bearing in mind this affects your validation date).

 

Once you do it, you download a medical referral letter with the HAP ID number you need to book your medical. Then after you have submitted your visa application, there is a button to click called 'get health details'. Click on this and assuming the medical details have been forwarded to DIBP, you will see this message;

 

Health requirement – health clearance provided – no action required

 

All health examinations required for the specified visa subclass have been finalised. Processing of this person's visa application can now continue. This will not occur until a case officer investigates the case in line with published processing times for the visa that has been applied for. Do not contact the department about health examinations in the meantime.
