Medical Visas
Australia’s medical treatment visas allow individuals to travel for specialized healthcare services, consultations, or medical procedures that may not be available in their home country. The most common option is the Medical Treatment (subclass 602) visa, which is available to people seeking to undergo medical treatment or consultations, donate an organ, or support a patient receiving treatment in Australia. This visa also caters to individuals coming for medical evaluations related to migration health requirements. Applicants must demonstrate they have made appropriate arrangements for their treatment, including proof of appointment with a recognized Australian medical provider, and show they have the means to cover medical and living expenses while in the country.
The subclass 602 visa offers flexibility, allowing single or multiple entries depending on the treatment plan, and can be granted for short or extended stays based on medical needs. While it does not provide work rights, it ensures patients can focus on their recovery or treatment without disruption. In many cases, accompanying family members or carers can also apply to travel under the same visa category to provide essential support. Australia’s reputation for world-class healthcare, advanced medical technology, and highly skilled specialists makes it a preferred destination for international patients seeking high-quality and reliable medical care.
