Kochi: In a major relief for individuals applying for Australian immigration from Kerala, a new medical examination facility has been inaugurated in Kochi, enabling applicants to complete their mandatory health checks locally. The centre, run by ND Diagnostics India Private Limited, is now operational and aims to serve as a one-stop destination for all medical tests required by the Australian Department of Home Affairs.
Until now, applicants residing in Kochi and surrounding districts had to travel either to Thiruvananthapuram or Kozhikode the only two centres in the state that were authorized to conduct Australia-specific immigration health screenings. The opening of this facility in Kochi is expected to drastically reduce travel burden and costs, especially for families, elderly applicants, and those managing tight timelines.
ND Diagnostics India Pvt. Ltd. is located at a prime address in Kochi, easily accessible from major parts of the city:
Address: 61/2145 C1, CUC Ventures Coastal Chambers,
M.G Road, Kochi, Kerala – 682015
Contact Number: 9582 116 116
Working Hours: Monday to Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
The centre is equipped with the necessary infrastructure to conduct comprehensive health screenings, including chest X-rays, blood tests, urine tests, and physical examinations all adhering to Australian immigration medical protocols. Appointments can be booked via phone or email, and the clinic has assured minimal wait times and efficient reporting systems.
The establishment of this centre is also part of a broader national trend of decentralizing immigration services to reduce bottlenecks in metro cities and improve the applicant experience. ND Diagnostics, which has a growing footprint in immigration health assessments, says the Kochi centre is staffed by certified panel physicians and follows the latest protocols set by Australia’s immigration authorities.
Australia continues to be a preferred destination for Indian students, skilled professionals, and families seeking permanent residency. With Kerala contributing a significant number of migrants annually, this new medical centre is expected to handle a high volume of applicants in the coming months.
Officials from ND Diagnostics have expressed their commitment to providing quality services, emphasizing that all operations will remain transparent, quick, and compliant with international standards.
This new centre marks a significant development in improving the ease of access to international migration processes for people in central Kerala and reinforces Kochi’s growing importance as a hub for global mobility services.
