Health Criteria and HIV
Updated 24th October 2009
A medical and x-ray examination is required for all applicants. This includes an HIV test and we strongly advise that you know your HIV status before making an application.
A medical and x-ray examination is required for all applicants. This includes an HIV test and we strongly advise that you know your HIV status before making an application.
A positive HIV result does not necessarily mean your application will fail, however it is most likely that the Immigration Department will ask you for a health waiver submission. GLITF Advisers will be able to talk to you about the requirements for this.
