Hello,

I'm currently in the process of applying for the IEC Working Holiday Visa.

According to the document checklist on my application, I'm required to provide "Proof of upfront medical exam", however I don't seem to fit the criteria of someone who needs one. I won't be working in a job where public health must be protected and haven't lived outside of Australia for more than 6 months in recent years.
I was born in Brazil, however I have not lived there since I was 5 (20 years ago), and have lived in Australia ever since (I'm an Australian citizen). I cannot seem to proceed with my application without providing the medical exam but technically I shouldn't need it, correct? I've been informed that acquiring a medical exam is $600 and I would like to be absolutely sure that I do require such a document.

Thanks in advance.

I already read this article and I don’t need. But in my application they ask for

A couple of thing, in some case, if you are applying for a job in health care or medical related which require medical clearance, then you may have to do one.
If you just apply for a regular job, then make sure you select a correct option on the application process
If you go through everything else correctly, you can write to them a letter to explain (include the link above) and ask them if you really need one.
That's all I can think of, but many senior members here would help out too.

Hello guys,
I am in the same situation. I was born in Brazil, but living abroad (Portugal and Germany) for more than 3 years.
To submit my application and move forward, I need to attach the “Proof of Upfront Medical Exam” document. It is stated:

If you plan to stay for more than 6 months
You need a medical exam if at least one of these applies to you:

None of these applies to me!

What was your decision in the end? Did you take the exam?

Thank you!
