I'm currently in the process of applying for the IEC Working Holiday Visa.
According to the document checklist on my application, I'm required to provide "Proof of upfront medical exam", however I don't seem to fit the criteria of someone who needs one. I won't be working in a job where public health must be protected and haven't lived outside of Australia for more than 6 months in recent years.
I was born in Brazil, however I have not lived there since I was 5 (20 years ago), and have lived in Australia ever since (I'm an Australian citizen). I cannot seem to proceed with my application without providing the medical exam but technically I shouldn't need it, correct? I've been informed that acquiring a medical exam is $600 and I would like to be absolutely sure that I do require such a document.
I would like know if get any answer or if you found out what to do. Because I have the same problem. I am applying for the working holiday as Italian and according with the criteria I don’t need to get an upfront exam. I also born in Brazil, but I have been living in the past 3 years in Australia
A couple of thing, in some case, if you are applying for a job in health care or medical related which require medical clearance, then you may have to do one.
If you just apply for a regular job, then make sure you select a correct option on the application process
If you go through everything else correctly, you can write to them a letter to explain (include the link above) and ask them if you really need one.
That's all I can think of, but many senior members here would help out too.
Hello guys,
I am in the same situation. I was born in Brazil, but living abroad (Portugal and Germany) for more than 3 years.
To submit my application and move forward, I need to attach the “Proof of Upfront Medical Exam” document. It is stated:
If you plan to stay for more than 6 months
You need a medical exam if at least one of these applies to you:
You have lived in or traveled to one or more of these countries or territories for 6 months or more in a row in the year before you come to Canada.

Hi, I have a similar situation. Did anyone have to take the medical exam in the end or were you able to contact someone and submit your application without?
