Immigration Clinic

Within 1 working day of completing the immigration medical booking form below call 03 441 0500 to make pre-payment to confirm your appointment. After confirmation, our receptionist sends a blood test referral to Awanui Labs (for ages 15 and older). You must take your blood test promptly as results take 4 working days and this is necessary for your appointment. Once results are in, we enter your details on the NZ Immigration website from your questionnaire, minimising your appointment time. Your cooperation is key to a smooth process.

• Your current original passport to verify your identity.
• Glasses or contact lenses (if you wear them).
• A list of medications you take (including dosage)
• Any relevant medical reports/documents.
• An interpreter (translator) to help if you find it hard to have conversations in English. If we find the consultation too difficult because of a language barrier you may be asked to re-book your appointment so you can bring an interpreter with you. This would be at the patient’s expense.

• Check in on arrival.
• You will spend 30 minutes with a nurse or healthcare assistant, followed by 15 minutes with a doctor.
• You will be provided with an e-Medical reference number to include with your visa application.
• If required, you will be given a request form to have an X-Ray which should be taken to Radiology immediately after your consultation with the doctor.
• You will need to provide a urine sample, so drink plenty of water beforehand. (Females: if you are menstruating the blood can affect your results. It may be best planning your urine sample for when you are not menstruating)

• We will submit your e-Medical to NZ Immigration when all your results have been received.
• You can choose to receive an email confirmation to advise this has been completed.
• If any abnormal results are identified at the consultation, or if NZ Immigration request, you may be required to have further investigations. These might include but are not limited to, further blood or urine tests, ultrasound scans or further doctor or specialist consultations. Your doctor or nurse will be able to advise you if this is necessary. Please note this will incur further costs and consultation fees.

Ensure you have booked the right medical. The responsibility of the appropriateness of the immigration medical booking for the patient’s needs lies entirely with the patient. QMC cannot advise as to the specifics of whether they need this medical or not. Each patient may have individual needs that differ from the next – Check with Immigration.
