From overseas

Studying from overseas.

International students meet the same placement list as everyone else, with more steps and more cost: overseas records, a TB test the visa medical does not replace, and a police check from home.

  • The student visa health check looks for active TB. It does not check immunity, and its chest x-ray does not meet the TB requirement, so your faculty still needs your blood tests and a TB test.
  • Overseas vaccinations are not on the Australian Immunisation Register. A GP records them once you have an Individual Healthcare Identifier from myGov; records not in English need a certified translation, free through Home Affairs.
  • Overseas student health cover excludes the visa medical and often the pathology.
  • You need a police check from home as well as the Australian one.
