Migration Medical/Health Waivers

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington provides expert legal services in Migration Law.

You need to pass the health requirement to be eligible for certain visas. If you have a medical condition, it is important to seek professional advice from the start on what is needed. We help you by managing the process with the confidentiality, care, and delicacy required.

If you have completed your health examination and have received a request for further information or a natural justice request, we can assist you in compiling the correct evidence to give you the best chance of success.

Depending on your health condition and the Department’s findings, you may be eligible for a health waiver. A health waiver removes the need to meet the strict health requirement and lets the visa be granted.

We have experience in health waiver applications and can assist in making a stressful time smooth and easy. We will navigate the process for you and provide an easy explanation of what information is needed to be approved for a health waiver.

  • Thank you very much for your help, guidance, and support in getting my wife's visa grant.

    It is nice to see these days. Thank you again for your hard work and working extra hard to ensure our success. Vanessa- A special thank you for all your technical help over the years. I know it's your job, but it's my life- and I feel you went above and beyond, and I just want to express my appreciation. You made me feel confident and took away my worries, also helped explain each stage of the process. You are very professional but easy going in day-to-day emails.

    Vanessa is the best migration solicitor in Australia I believe.

  • Many thanks Vanessa for helping me professionally in my partner visa grant.

    You made my dream come true and I can live with my husband here in Australia. I couldn't expect that my visa grant process would be so quicker. I found Vanessa very kind, supportive, and professional and several other qualities made her capable to be a perfect immigration lawyer.

    I would highly recommend everyone who is in stress regarding visa matters.

    Vanessa has helped me so much with all my visa work! I could not have done this alone. Definitely the best! Great advice and communication throughout. I cannot recommend Vanessa enough.

    Jazmin Finch

  • Highly recommended!

    My husband and I used Whiteley Ironside & Shillington Migration Services for our recent application for an Australian Partner Visa. Vanessa and the team supported us through the application process and I cannot fault the service. They were extremely helpful from start to finish and made what could have been a very difficult/confusing process simple and easy! And stage 1 of the visa was approved much quicker than we anticipated.
