Immigration Panel Doctors

A Panel doctor is a doctor or a radiologist who has been appointed by the Australian Government to perform medical examinations on visa applicants who have applied from outside Australia.
Medical examinations conducted overseas are generally only acceptable if conducted by Panel doctors. More information is available about the health examination for visa applicants and attending a Panel doctor.
