澳大利亚留学网消息，从２００９年８月２６日起，中国学生采用普通纸张递送方法申请留下签证的将也有机会采用电子体检服务。

在此之前，只有采用电子签证的学生才被允许采用电子体检。澳大利亚移民部开发的电子体检系统eHelath可以使得体检医院网上传送体检结果，安全可靠，节省了大量时间和人力，加快了处理签证的批准时间。

申请人需要先递交签证申请，得到回执后携带护照到指定医院体检。学生无需携带照片，因为体检医院现场给申请人电子拍照。

以下是首批参加电子体检服务的中国医生的清单：

China Student Visa Health Pilot: eHealth (Online Health) for Student Visa Paper-Based Applications

From the 26 August 2009, the department is commencing a pilot scheme that will allow student visa applicants from China who have lodged paper visa applications to complete their health examinations through Online Health (eHealth). This is the first time that eHealth has been made available to clients that have lodged a paper-based visa application.

Who is eligible to use eHealth?

To be eligible for eHealth, student visa applicants must:

• have a Chinese passport
• lodge a paper application with the Adelaide Offshore Student Processing Centre (AOSPC); and
• have included a copy of their valid passport at the time of their application or have provided the AOSPC with a copy of their valid passport since lodging their application.

Applicants must then take a copy of the ‘Health Examination Request Checklist’, provided by the AOSPC when they acknowledge receipt of the application, along with the required health forms (Form 26 and/or 160) to an eHealth eligible panel doctor.

A list of approved panel doctors is available on the department’s website.

The clinics participating in this pilot have the eHealth logo () next to the clinic name on the list of approved panel doctors.

Clients who chose to have their health examinations recorded through eHealth will not need to take passport photos to the clinic, as a digital photograph will be taken of them by the panel clinic.

After the successful completion of this pilot in China the scheme will be gradually rolled out to other counties where eHealth is available, allowing an increasing number of visa applicants to complete their health examinations through eHealth.
