We provide all medical services required for your immigration application such as General Medical Certificate, Limited Medical Certificate, Chest X Ray and any add-on test.
If you would like to have your Immigration Medical done at The Doctors Middlemore and you know what type of Medical you need already, you MUST provide the following requirements and email it to info@md.thedoctors.co.nz
Once we received the requested documents, our Immigration Administration Team will contact you to arrange a time for your appointment.
Our Process
At the first point of contact applicants will need to confirm what type of Medical is required, either (1) a Full Immigration Medical Package or (2) a Limited Immigration Medical Package. Immigration NZ will give advice to applicants in regard to what type of Medical they require before they apply.
If an interpreter is required for appointments – it is the responsibility of the applicant to provide.
We aim to expand our service provision in the near future with the inclusion of online application processing, potentially stream lining the process further.
How does it work?
- Prior to the first appointment is for administration and all applicants are requested to arrive early if still needing to complete forms for photocopying and to make their payment with reception.
- A second appointment is then required with the Medical Team Nurse and X-ray (if required) and can be arranged on the same day wherever possible. This appointment is for tests and X-rays to be undertaken.
- The third and final appointment is completed with a GP once the Laboratory Tests are returned to The Doctors Middlemore - this process could take up to 2x days so there is a wait period between appointments.
What to bring to your first appointment?
- Authentic Passport. We MUST sight this so please, DO NOT forget to bring it.
- Funds available to make “Immigration Package" provider payment
- Any relevant information from your Immigration NZ contact.
- Authentic documentation required if you have changed/or have different information on your passport eg name change - married name/spelling of name etc.
- If a parent or guardian is accompanying a minor, they must also bring their passport and authentic proof of guardianship.

Pre-employment medicals
A customised check of specific health factors before you agree to employ a new staff member:
- Tailored to your business and hazards on site.
- Recommended for all new employees.
Depending on your business, your work force may also need the following pre-employment checks:
- Alcohol and drug-testing (where precision and/or public safety issues are important)
- Spirometry (lung function) for any work involving fumes, dust, solvents, fine particles or toxic substances
- Hearing – for work environments with high levels of mechanical or electronic noise
- Eye-sight – where excellent vision is a requirement or eye-strain may occur.
Annual employee medicals
Follow-up health checks, usually annually, are the best way to be sure your employees’ health is not being affected by their work – helping you keep your valuable staff, and avoid expensive litigation.
The health checks outlined under pre-employment medicals above can also be carried out on an annual basis, signed off by a qualified health professional, so you have the records you need now and in the future.
Immunisation
We can vaccinate your staff against diseases to which they may be susceptible, and/or which could affect your business, such as flu, Hepatitis A and B, and others as needed.
Travel vaccinations
If your staff are required regularly to travel overseas, we have access to up to the minute travel vaccinations and disease advice. Special rates are negotiable for high-use businesses.
