Amharc ar fhreagraThe review of application procedures for Australian visas, including the appointment of approved medical examiners to assist with these procedures, is a matter for the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Australian visa applications from Ireland are handled by the Australian Immigration Office in London.
I have asked my officials to liaise with the Australian Embassy here regarding the possibilities for a meeting with the affected Irish doctors on this issue.
