1. Step-by-Step Status Check (2026 Portal)
Follow this path to see exactly what the Department sees:
- Login: Access your ImmiAccount.
- Open Application: Click on your current visa application (e.g., Subclass 485).
- View Details: Select the “View details” link on the application summary page.
- Health Assessment: On the left-hand sidebar menu, click the “Health assessment” tab.
- Status Check: Look for the “Status” field under each applicant’s name.
2. Decoding the 2026 Status Messages
The Department uses specific phrases to indicate where your medical sits in the pipeline:
| Status Message | What it Actually Means in 2026 |
| “Health clearances provided – no action required” | The Gold Standard. Your results are accepted and valid. No further medical steps are needed for this visa. |
| “Health assessment in progress” | Processing. Bupa has uploaded the results, and they are either being synced or have been referred to the Medical Officer of the Commonwealth (MOC). |
| “Examinations required” | Action Needed. You either haven’t done the exam yet, or your previous results have expired (exceeded the 12-month limit). |
| “Incomplete” | Technical Lag. The system has detected a HAP ID but is waiting for the full clinical report from Bupa. |
3. The “View eMedical” Shortcut
If ImmiAccount feels slow, you can check the direct source of the data:
- In the Health Assessment tab, look for a link that says “View eMedical details.”
- This will open a pop-up showing exactly which tests (e.g., 501 Medical, 502 Chest X-ray) have been received.
- In 2026, if you see “Completed” next to every test but the main status is still “In progress,” it simply means a Case Officer hasn’t “finalized” the link yet.
4. 2026 Timeline: From Appointment to “Clearance”
- Days 1–5: Results are being finalized by Bupa doctors.
- Days 5–7: Results are uploaded to the eMedical system.
- Days 7–10: ImmiAccount syncs and shows “Health assessment in progress.”
- Days 10–14: Final “Health clearances provided” status usually appears (unless referred to an MOC).
