When do you need a medical certificate translation?
Visa health requirements
The Department of Home Affairs requires applicants for most visa subclasses to undergo a health examination. If you have pre-existing conditions documented in a non-English medical certificate, a NAATI-certified translation must be submitted alongside your health examination results through the eMedical system or uploaded to ImmiAccount.
Panel physician appointments
When attending your immigration health examination with a Bupa Medical Visa Services panel physician, you may be asked to provide translated medical records detailing your health history, current medications, surgical history, or specialist reports. A NAATI-certified translation ensures the panel physician can accurately assess your health status.
Health insurance claims
Australian private health insurers and travel insurers may require certified translations of overseas medical certificates, hospital discharge summaries, or treatment records to process claims for treatment received before or after arriving in Australia.
Employer or workplace requirements
Some Australian employers, particularly in healthcare, mining, construction, and aged care, require certified translations of overseas medical clearances, fitness-for-work certificates, or vaccination records as part of pre-employment health screening.
AHPRA professional registration
If you're a healthcare professional seeking registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), any non-English medical or health-related documentation submitted as part of your application must be accompanied by a NAATI-certified English translation.
Centrelink and disability support
If you're applying for Centrelink payments such as the Disability Support Pension or Carer Payment, Services Australia may require certified translations of overseas medical reports that document your condition, treatment history, or functional capacity.

What's translated
