Breaking Australian immigration news brought to you by Migration Alliance and associated bloggers.
This morning at the NSW Client Reference Group meeting, members of Migration Alliance were in attendance to listen to a presentation by DIBP's Global Health.
On 18 February 2014 DIBP signed a contract with Bupa which will take effect from the 28 July 2014.
Phase 1 begins on 28 July and will see visa applicant medical processing being completed onshore and also medical follow-ups being done on shore. Phase 1 includes onshore medicals and x-rays.
Phase 2 will begin at the end of 2014 and will see the introduction of offshore medicals. Phase 2 will be staged separately and is on track.
The transition will see no disruption to clients and performance and integrity will be maintained.
