The web page for visa requirements of the Australian High Commonsion says persons above 70 yrs need a medical done. why do they need it and for what?Calling up the High commonsion in Delhi seems to be of no help.The panel of doctors say to get the form. The High Commonsiuon says go to the Agency. The agency says we will give you the forms only when you let us do everything. Is it so difficult to get a form to do the medical. Especially for a senoir citizen like me, who is still HEALTHY and HEARTY. I can still travel why are you all making it difficult for us. I have been working till 67, now that I have the time and leisure why make it difficult for me

Okay here are some facts about Australian immigration.
It is very strict. Because Australia is isolated, we have very strict immigration / border controls on diseases. Its nothing personal - Australia is just cautious about diseases etc. Thats why the health check needs to be done. Australia is also very particular about people applying from countries where the health standards are below Western / Australian standards.
Being a U.S citzen, you should be able to lodge your visa application on line. Go to the DIMA website or when you buy your ticket, ask your travel agent to lodge the visa for you. If its only a tourist visa - and you dont intend to do any work here - it really should be no problem.
Good luck on your application.

If you let the agency handle it for you it will be so much easier for you.
