Important – Please read this information carefully before you
complete your pregnancy health undertaking. Once you have

Who is required to sign a pregnancy health
undertaking?
A pregnancy health undertaking is required for pregnant visa
applicants who have not had the required chest x-ray.
What is a pregnancy health undertaking for?
Tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease of public concern
in Australia and a chest x-ray is the best screening tool for
active tuberculosis.
You have been asked to sign a pregnancy health undertaking
because you have not undergone a chest x-ray as part of the
health examinations required for your visa application due to
your pregnancy.
A pregnancy health undertaking is an agreement that is
made with the Australian Government, which obliges you
to undergo a chest x-ray at the Migration Medical Services
Provider after the birth of your child.
By signing this pregnancy health undertaking you also agree
to undergo any course of treatment or investigation that the
health clinic directs.
Important: You must contact the Migration Medical Services
Provider within 9 months of the grant of your visa and make
an appointment.

Costs
The cost of the chest x-ray is paid by you directly to the
Migration Medical Services Provider.
Why should I attend a health clinic?
It is in your best interests to comply with the requirements of
your pregnancy health undertaking. The health examination
is necessary to minimise the risk of spread of tuberculosis to
close family, friends and the community. If the doctor thinks it
is necessary, treatment for tuberculosis will be arranged.
Your co-operation with the pregnancy health undertaking is
vital to assist the Australian Government to protect you, your
family and the Australian community.
