The subclass 602 is Australia's temporary visa for foreign nationals traveling to receive medical treatment, consultation, or act as an organ donor. Applicants must have a confirmed treatment plan with an Australian hospital or specialist, adequate funds for all costs, and health insurance.
Stay duration is set case-by-case to match the treatment plan, with no standard maximum. There is no work authorisation and no pathway to permanent residence. A support person can be included on the same application. Applying from outside Australia is free; applying onshore costs AUD 380.
This visa is ideal for patients or organ donors who need temporary access to Australian medical facilities, particularly those who require a companion carer during treatment.
