A refugee health assessment is a detailed check of a person who has arrived in Australia as a refugee. The check includes migration history, full medical history, physical examination, tests and plans for any health concerns. Refugee health assessments are provided by a specialised refugee health service which offers specialised support for people from refugee backgrounds.
