Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument specifies Bupa Australia Health Pty Ltd (trading as Bupa Medical Visa Services) as the approved health service provider for Australian migration health examinations.

Key points:

Purpose: To designate which company manages the health checks required for visa applications.
Effect: Visa applicants must use this provider (or doctors approved by them) to complete mandatory medical examinations for their visa.
Change: This replaces an earlier approval from July 2014, switching the designated provider to Bupa.

In practical terms, if you're applying for a visa and need a health check, this document authorises Bupa to arrange those medical assessments on behalf of the Department of Home Affairs.
