costs are paid directly to the test centre and may vary from country to country. You should contact the test centre for further information about testing<br />

costs.<br />

Medical and radiological examination costs<br />

Permanent and some temporary visa applicants may be required to undertake and pay for radiological and medical examinations. All costs are paid by the<br />

applicant directly to the doctors or clinics undertaking the examination. The cost <strong>of</strong> these examinations undertaken in Australia is approximately $430. Costs<br />

<strong>of</strong> examinations undertaken outside Australia may vary from country to country. There may be additional costs if further tests or couriers are required. The<br />

department does not regulate such charges but where allegations <strong>of</strong> excessive charging are made, the department may contact the doctor and request that<br />

charges be amended in line with prices charged in that country for similar medical examinations.<br />

For people being examined in Australia, there is also a fee payable to Medibank Health Solutions for a digital photo <strong>of</strong> each person examined.<br />
