Migration (Specification of Health Service Provider) Instrument (LIN 24/040) 2024

The Migration (Specification of Health Service Provider) Instrument (LIN 24/040) 2024 formally designates Bupa Health Services Pty Ltd, trading as Bupa Medical Visa Services, as the specified health service provider for medical assessments related to visa applications under subregulation 1.15AA(2) of the Migration Regulations 1994. This instrument replaces the previous specification (IMMI 14/085) and ensures continuity of the existing arrangements, which require medical assessments for applicants claiming to be carers under certain visa categories.

Key points:

  • The instrument continues the current operational framework by maintaining Bupa as the designated provider for visa-related medical assessments.
  • The instrument repeals IMMI 14/085, which was due to sunset on 1 October 2024, and modernises the language and structure of the regulation for clarity and simplicity.
  • Bupa was selected through an open market tender process conducted by the Department of Home Affairs.

This measure supports effective visa processing and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements for health assessments.
