ANNOUNCEMENT
Please be advised that effective July 1, 2022 the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has added a new requirement for all healthcare workers or individuals who plan to work, train or study in a healthcare facility including hospitals, aged care, or disability care facilities in Australia.
Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) is now required for these applicants. The fee for the said test is not included in the current medical package rate and will be charged separately.
VISA MEDICAL EXAM STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
(WALK-INS WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED)
It has come to SLEC Management’s attention that applicants are sleeping on the sidewalks and stand-ins are being offered for a sum of money by individuals not affiliated with SLEC. In order to avoid unscrupulous practices and for the safety of everyone, SLEC will no longer accept walk-ins and will only accommodate applicants with appointments in the clinic.
Please book your appointment by online registration at our website www.slec.ph.
Thank you.
Starting January 31, 2022 New Zealand visa applicants applying for online Visitor Visas are required to lodge their visa applications first prior to doing their medical examination. Upfront medical examinations will no longer be available for these type of visa applicants.
Please visit the INZ website at https://www.immigration.govt.nz/ for more details.
