Hi

Just a quick question.

When you do the 2nd stage of the SIR (887) do you have to do the medicals again???

Many thanks

I am also confused with this. As they say don't do medicals unless requested.

I learned from one of my friend got PR (887 route), we need to do medicals again, but CO will request it.

Hi Joe. I have been in touch with dimia over this and the only thing you need to do is police checks from Australia.

Hi Jo

DIAC policy is not to request medicals at the permanent stage (887) unless:

• they have spent more than 3 months of their (visa 495) provisional period in a country(s) of very high risk for TB, or more than 12 months of the provisional period in a country(s) of high risk for TB

• there appears to have been marked deterioration in the visa holder’s health since the initial visa 495/475 application, whether noted by the visa decision-maker from observation and/or declared by the applicant as part of “changed circumstances” (note: pregnancy does not, of itself, constitute a deterioration in health) or


• if, for any reason, the visa decision-maker wishes to seek the MOC’s view on the current or previous health assessment, including cases of possible concealment or deception relating to health conditions.

If medicals are re-requested and a condition shows up, the health requirement at this permanent stage is relaxed in that there is room for a waiver of the health requirement in certain circumstances.
