What Is an Immigration Medical Exam?
An immigration medical exam is a health assessment required by Immigration New Zealand to determine if applicants meet the country’s health standards. It typically includes:
- A medical examination conducted by an approved panel physician.
- A chest X-ray for applicants over a certain age or if clinically indicated.
- Blood and urine tests to screen for specific conditions.
At Southpoint Family Doctors, we are an approved Immigration Medical Auckland clinic, adhering to all guidelines set by Immigration New Zealand.
Why is providing this service so important to us?
South Auckland is one of New Zealand’s most diverse communities, home to a large Pasifika population alongside a vibrant mix of cultures. Immigration medical reports are a vital part of many individuals’ and families’ journeys to settling in Aotearoa, and at Southpoint Family Doctors, we understand the challenges they face.
Being one of the only Pasifika health providers offering this service in South Auckland is more than just a responsibility—it’s a commitment to our community. It’s important to us because:
Cultural Connection and Understanding
Navigating immigration processes can feel daunting, especially when English isn’t your first language or when cultural differences make it hard to communicate your needs. We strive to make it easier by providing care in a culturally respectful and supportive way, and aim to ensure patients understand what’s going on throughout the process.
Advocates for Accessibility
South Auckland is a hub for migrant families, and for many in our community, finding affordable, trustworthy healthcare close to home can be a challenge. By offering immigration medical services locally, we’re removing barriers and making this critical step in their journey more accessible.
Building Trust Through Familiarity
Our patients feel at ease knowing they’re receiving care from a diverse team that understands the significance of cultural background and values. Trust is a cornerstone of healthcare, and for many migrant families, it’s easier to build trust with providers who make a conscious effort to understand them better. Being one of the few Pasifika clinics offering immigration medical reports, we aim to provide a safe space where patients can feel comfortable asking questions and sharing concerns.
Supporting Growth and Diversity
Our community thrives on its diversity, and immigration is a significant driver of this growth. By providing immigration medical reports, we’re helping to shape the future of our community – to shape a stronger, more connected future for generations to come.
