Passport photo

Are not required to be brought in by you. We will take a passport photo here at the time of your appointment

Menstrual period

Best to book the medical exam after the periods are over. This is because urine test is done for blood. 

If you need just a chest xray and no medical exam, you do not have to wait for period to be over.

Which type of immigration medical do I need

If INZ has issued you an HR number, we can check which type of immigration medical is required. 

General guideline is that Immigration chest Xrays are valid for 3 yrs and not repeated before that. 

Visa type

We will ask you about which visa you will be applying for. eg worker with job offer, worker without job offer, residence - family, student visa. 

 

We will also need to know if you intend to stay in NZ for 6-12 months or 12 -24 months or more than 24 months.

Is Selwyn House Medical Centre a one-stop shop

Selwyn House Medical Centre will act like a one stop service. X-ray and Labtests are next door and are accredited 3rd party providers.

You will not have to book a separate appointment or make a separate payment there.

This is the most common configuration of a one stop service in primary health care in NZ.

Should I come fasting or can I eat and drink

Dont fast. Eat normally and drink some fluids before you come as you will need to do a urine test for a general immigration medical. 

Will you send the reports to immigration directly

Yes, we will submit your healthcase directly to immigration. At the same time, we will email you a copy of what we submit. This is for your records. 

What happens during the visit

We complete the eMedical with you.

 

There is a declaration for you to sign, payments, photo, health measurements - vision, blood pressure, height, weight, your health history,  physical check by doctor, urine test, blood test and Xray if required.

How long will it take

About 1 hour.

Immigration medicals take 20 mins for paperwork and doctor exam, 20 mins at the lab and 20 mins for Xray.  Add another 10-20 mins waiting times. This is an indicative time frame .

Sometimes it takes less time and sometimes longer.

 

When will I be charged extra

Additional tests are prescribed by immigration NZ, where there are medical conditions. 

 

We take great care in keeping your costs to a minimum and will not advise un-necessary tests.
