How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Use the actual Medical Treatment 602 private-hospital patient route | required | visa application | An adult self-funded patient applying from India with an Australian treating-doctor plan and satisfactory private-hospital payment arrangements already held. No companion/organ-donor, emergency, onshore or public-hospital branch is assumed. A separate patient visa is not an ordinary Tourist 600 medical-purpose workaround. |
| Clear colour passport identity pages | required | visa application | Provide current passport pages showing photograph, personal details, issue and expiry dates. Use a valid passport and matching application names; no universal six-month-after-return buffer or paper-photo size is inferred from these instructions. |
| National identity or name-change evidence where applicable | conditional | visa application | Include a national identity card if held/required and genuine name-change documents if relevant. The examples do not require every adult to supply an unrelated marriage or birth certificate. |
| English translation with translator details for non-English evidence | conditional | visa application | A translation prepared in India must identify the translator by full name, address, telephone number, qualifications and language experience, in English. Submit it with the source document. Outside-Australia accreditation is not mandatory; do not infer a separate certified translation, oath, notarisation or apostille. Certification of document copies is a different issue and may be requested separately. |
| Clear colour scans/photos; multipage documents in one file | required | visa application | Scan or photograph both English and non-English documents clearly in colour. Save a multipage document as one file and attach it only once even if it serves several purposes. Follow the personalised ImmiAccount attachment fields and validators; no universal file-size limit is established here. |
| Provide biometrics only through the channel in the actual request | conditional | visa application | Home Affairs will tell you if biometrics are needed. India is an Immi App location, but use that route only with an AUI-prefixed Visa Lodgement Number and a valid passport under the instructions. A different VLN requires ABCC attendance. Follow the individual deadline and any further request; no universal fourteen-day deadline is invented. |
| Follow actual health and character requirements and requests | conditional | visa application | Complete any required immigration health examinations under Home Affairs instructions, separate from the treating-doctor plan. Provide a police certificate if requested. No universal military-record, apostille or PCC packet is imposed for this offshore patient. |
| Use the correct offshore ImmiAccount application and await the grant | required | visa application | Apply through ImmiAccount with the correct stream and all requested attachments. Stay outside Australia for this offshore application and decision. Do not treat a receipt as approval. Use the actual grant letter/VEVO for permitted stay, entries and conditions; category descriptions are not a guaranteed grant or processing time. |
| Australian treating-doctor letter: condition, treatment, timeframe and cost | required | visa application | Provide the Australian doctor’s letter identifying the condition, required treatment, estimated timeframe and estimated cost. It is separate from any immigration health examination. Form 1507’s identified extra branch is for an onshore applicant without a substantive visa, not this India-based offshore scope. |
| Written confirmation of satisfactory payment arrangements | required | visa application | Generally arrange payment in advance and supply treating-doctor/hospital confirmation that the arrangements are satisfactory and cover all treatment costs. This is not a universal rule requiring treatment already fully prepaid. This scope uses a private hospital; a public-hospital payment letter instead has financial-officer/administration and non-disadvantage-to-Australians conditions. |
| Access to treatment, travel and living funds | required | visa application | Show genuine available funds covering treatment and the stay, including associated travel/living expenses. Australian supporter letters apply only if someone actually supports the stay. No fixed bank-history period, balance, sponsor guarantee or unrelated employment packet is established for this self-funded patient. |
| Offshore 602 application fee free; actual treatment plan controls stay | required | visa application | Home Affairs states the application is free when lodged outside Australia. This does not make treatment, travel, health checks or living costs free. Stay and entries are determined individually; follow the actual grant. Suitable insurance for unforeseen treatment is recommended and does not replace funding of the planned care. |

602 patient guidance requires an Australian treating-doctor letter covering condition, treatment, timeframe and cost, plus access to treatment/living funds and satisfactory payment arrangements. Public-hospital payment letters have additional officer/non-disadvantage conditions. Generally pre-arrange payment; not universally full prepayment. Offshore fee is free; grant stay/entries are individual. Form 1507 branch is onshore without a substantive visa.

Current official indexed Home Affairs document sections and directly readable visitor application guidance support the stated offshore scope. A normal browser 600 request returned Access Denied and was not bypassed; no personalised ImmiAccount was accessed. Document alternatives remain alternatives; translator location, accreditation and certification of copies are distinct. Individual additional evidence/file validators remain flagged.

Translate non-English documents into English and include source and translation. Translators outside Australia need not be accredited; each translation states in English full name, address/phone, qualifications and language experience. Australia-located translators need NAATI. Certification of copies is separate and generally unnecessary unless asked. Colour legible multipage documents are saved as one file.

India is an eligible location for the Australian Immi App, but the applicant also needs a biometrics request with VLN beginning AUI and a valid passport. Other VLNs require ABCC attendance. Follow the actual request; app submission is not visa approval and may prompt further instructions.

FAQs
Are all documents for Australia medical treatment automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
