   All applicants are required to meet health criteria. In certain circumstances, you will be required to undergo formal health examinations.
   
   A chest x-ray will be required if you:
   
   Are a resident of a country considered to be of a very high health risk in terms of tuberculosis (the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Italy, France and Belgium are NOT considered high risk);
   Have spent more than 3 consecutive months in the last 5 years in a country or countries considered to be of a very high health risk in terms of tuberculosis;
   Are likely to enter an Australian hospital or health care area (including nursing homes); or
   Are likely to be engaged in an Australian child care centre (including preschools or creches) as either an employee or trainee.
   
   A chest x-ray and a medical examination, including any specialist reports, will be required if:
   
   There is an indication you may not meet the health criteria; or
   You are likely to work or study in a classroom environment for more than 4 weeks and hold a passport from a country considered to be of a very high health risk in terms of tuberculosis.
