#9. Health Waiver for Failed Health Requirement
Episode description
Episode Summary:
When you apply for a visa, you and family members who apply for a visa with you might need to have health examinations to prove you meet the health requirement.
If you fail to meet the health requirement, a visa processing offer may consider exercising a health waiver, if it is available for your visa subclass, and contact you to advise you of this and seek further information from you. A health waiver is only available for a Partner Visa or Employer Nominated Visa.
