No fasting before medical examination for Australian visa purposes

Recently I tried to arrange a medical examination for one of my clients. While I try to arrange the timeslot to suit his day off..etc...he told me that he needs to fast after midnight before his blood test. So, he didn't want to get his medical examination done on his working day.

This is the first time I heard of such thing. I understand that people do thier cholesterol level check or their normal regular health check, they need to fast and so on. However, this kind of medical examination is for the Australian migration purposes, the test is mainly for HIV check. There is nothing to do whether or not you need to fast. There is nothing to do with the cholesterol level. Those kind of check is leave for your GP or your family doctor. Not a doctor for migration purposes.

Any doubt, please always check with the registered migration agent or migration lawyer near you.
