This information has been developed to support clinicians treating patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who are applying for an Australian permanent residence (PR) visa. The provision of a ‘positive’ medical report in support of a patient’s PR visa application can help to support a favourable outcome for the applicant. It is recommended that the applicant seeks advice from an appropriate migration agent/lawyer. Clinicians are recommended to make use of this provided information in conjunction with the advice of the applicant’s migration agents/lawyers, who will be able to advise in regards to the application or health waiver.
