Please have the following information ready when you call us:

For Female Applicants:

• Women are advised not to book their appointment for 3 days either side of their menstrual period as this may affect the required urine test.
• A full physical examination is required so if you wish to request a female Doctor, please let us know when booking the appointment. The examination does not involve a breast or pelvic examination. For limited medical certificate applicants, this will not involve a breast examination. For general medical certificate applicants over the age of 45 years, a breast examination is required. Potential alternatives include a mammogram or Breast Specialist examination within the previous 6 months and this can be discussed at the medical examination.​

2. What To Bring To Your Appointment

New Zealand Immigration Medicals are now processed online through the eMedical system as ‘Upfront Medicals’. This means that your health case will be created in eMedical at the clinic on the day of your appointment.

• A valid Passport; the medical cannot proceed without this
• Spectacles or contact lenses if you wear them
• Copies of letters from your GP or Specialist if you are currently on any medication, or have any significant medical history
• For children of 7 or under, the 'Red Book' health record, if available

Each applicant will be presented with an eMedical Information Sheet before leaving the clinic. This enable them to lodge their visa application and will contain the applicant’s unique medical identifier (NZER).
