If you or your family member requires assistance communicating in English, please note the strict safety, legal, and Immigration New Zealand requirements below:

  • When is an interpreter required? Immigration New Zealand mandates that a professional interpreter must be present if the patient cannot comfortably and fluently complete a complex medical consultation, give an accurate medical history, or understand clinical instructions in English.
  • Approved Interpreters Only: To ensure legal and clinical accuracy, the interpreter must be an official, independent professional. Family members, friends, or children cannot act as interpreters under any circumstances during your medical exam.
  • Organize in Advance: Please notify our clinic team that you require an interpreter as soon as you submit your paperwork. This must be arranged and confirmed before your appointment date to ensure a certified professional is available.
  • Fees: Please note that any costs associated with booking a professional interpreter are the responsibility of the patient.

The immigration medical examination is conducted in accordance with the Immigration New Zealand Panel Member Instructions.

The purpose of this examination is to assess your health in relation to New Zealand’s immigration health requirements.

  • This examination is not a comprehensive health check-up and may not detect all medical conditions.
  • The panel physician’s role is to collect and report medical information to Immigration New Zealand; they do not make the final decision on your immigration application.
  • Any findings unrelated to immigration requirements will be communicated to you, and you are encouraged to follow up with your own healthcare provider.
  • Immigration New Zealand will determine whether you meet the health requirements for your visa application based on the medical information provided.
  • I understand the fee paid to St. John’s Medical Centre covers only the clinical services and examinations provided within our clinic.
