Medical Report Required to Apply for Australian Tourist visa?

Question

I'm about to submit the visa application but I don't know what the medical report should contain. my dad said a letter from a doctor stating that 'my physical condition is ok' would be enough. another doctor told me to take UFR, WBC/DC, ESR tests & to check the BP.

Will a letter stating that "I'm physically fit to travel" be enough or should I also take the blood & urine tests??? Are there any other tests I should take???

In short, What should exactly be included in the medical report that I'm going to attach with the Australian TOURIST visa application??

Answer 1

The Australian  embassy have a list of doctors in your country which are considered "acceptable". You cannot get your local GP to do this unless he is considered one of these people. This is because in order to this the panel doctor must be considered as "qualified" under Australian standards. You may also be required to get an X-ray depending on your health.

Usually not just your physical condition needs to be stated (as some GPs may just take your blood pressure and write them like they write sick notes (which translates to "everyone who asks for them"))  but they may take some of your blood (to see if you have any STDs) and general well-being.

I am not too sure about the exact country you are from so the first list is to DIAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship) and lists the countries and the nearest Australian embassy for you to go to). The second link and third link tell you about the general requirements you will need to meet.
