Purpose
This form is the radiological report used to record the results of a chest x-ray required as part of the health examinations for an Australian visa application. Once completed and given to the panel physician or clinic, the Commonwealth becomes the owner of the information and the panel physician sends the form to the Department.
Who lodges it
The report is completed by the examining panel radiologist/physician; the visa applicant provides their identifying details and signs the applicable declaration. The information is collected under section 60 of the Migration Act 1958.
When it is used
Used when a visa applicant is required to undergo a chest x-ray as part of immigration health examinations, whether arranged before or after lodging the visa application, either through a panel radiology clinic outside Australia or the Migration Medical Services Provider within Australia.
