Who lodges it
The visa applicant undergoes the examination, but the completed form is prepared by the examining panel physician or clinic and sent by them to the Department rather than lodged by the applicant.
When it is used
Used when an applicant is required to complete a health examination as part of, or ahead of, an Australian visa application, whether onshore through a Migration Medical Services Provider or offshore through a panel physician.
