Hello all,

Does anyone know if a physical (blood pressure, eyesight, hearing, weight, height) is needed for the health check for immigration?

Is it just drugs test (including cannabis), HIV/AIDS test and TBPE test?

Thanks,

Oliver

I got my test two weeks ago and I was required to submit to all those you mentioned (hearing/vision/bp/chest x-rays/etc) as well as the blood test.

Required to submit for ARC card, through immigration office, yes.

all immigration offices differ a bit even though they might say otherwise.....most will just want a drug test and previously an AIDS test........im not sure how the rule changes have affected the immi requirement for an AIDS test

I did mine a couple of weeks ago too. It included the above and a blood and urine test. Mine also included a dental check, but the hospital was so busy, they just asked me if I had any dental problems. I said no, and they wrote that in.

It's an immigration requirement but you're not actually legally-bound to undertake the health check from what I've heard i.e. it's not an official law that you must submit to/follow.
