Diving Medicals

If you’re planning to go diving, it’s important to ensure that you are medically fit to do so. Here at Healthcare on Collins, Dr. Duc Tran can conduct recreational diving medicals.

Before you go for the medical assessment, please make sure you have the paperwork provided by the organisation requesting it. Please don’t forget to bring any chest X-rays and reports from the past five years. If you can’t find your chest X-ray and report, you may need to get another one on the day. I-Med Radiology is located on the floor below Healthcare on Collins and can usually accommodate to have it done on the same day.

When you arrive for your appointment, you’ll be booked in to see one of the practice nurses for a 30-minute appointment, followed by 30 minutes with Dr. Duc Tran. During the appointment, the nurse and doctor will assess your medical fitness for diving. The medical assessment will include an ECG and spirometry, which are included in the cost of $280.00 (including GST). Please note that the cost of the chest X-ray is additional and will be charged separately your radiology provider. Payment is required on the day and is not rebateable through Medicare.

If you have any questions or would like to arrange an appointment for a diving medical, please don’t hesitate to contact the clinic at (03) 9650 4284 and ask to speak with Christina, our amazing Assistant Practice Manager. Remember it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to diving, so make sure you’re medically fit to do so before taking the plunge.
