Applying for a Medical Treatment Visa involves several detailed steps:
1
Before applying, it pays to be fully prepared. You can either arrange for a health examination or wait for the Department to ask you. You can also do this after your application. Note that this is in addition to the medical treatment documents you need to provide.
2
It’s time to compile all necessary medical records outlining your health condition, treatment needed, potential costs and timeframe, together with financial evidence, and other supporting documents to substantiate your visa application, including identity documents and photographs.
3
Once you’ve gathered all your documents, you can now apply online using your ImmiAccount. Complete the subclass 602 medical treatment visa form, attach all required documentation, and pay for the visa fees.

After lodging your application, the Department will notify you if they received it. If you didn’t arrange a health exam before applying, you may be required to undergo one. You must be in Australia if you lodged your application here, or be outside Australia if you applied offshore.
