Australia uses the same health rules for all countries in this category. Vanuatu is listed in this category.

Your medical exam includes:
👩‍⚕️Physical exam
🩻 Chest X-ray
🩸Blood test

How to book:
1️⃣ Apply for your visa
2️⃣ If your stay is six months or more, you’ll get a letter with your HAP ID

🇬🇧 RESCUE & RECOVERY – DECOMPRESSION ACCIDENT IN SANTO

Last night was one of those moments that remind us why we do what we do. 💙

A diver suffered a decompression accident in Santo.
Thanks to excellent coordination, he was urgently flown to Port Vila and taken directly into our decompression chamber.

🕕 For over 6 hours, he was monitored, assisted, and supported.
Fabrice from BigBlue Vanuatu stayed by his side in the chamber throughout the whole protocol.
Andrew HipGame and I operated the system to ensure everything ran safely.
And Promedical stood by us the entire time, ready to assist if needed. 🙌

After all this, the patient said:
“I feel 80% better.”

This wasn’t a miracle.
It was the result of teamwork, skill, and commitment.
And it’s proof that Port Vila now has the ability to save lives when it comes to diving emergencies.

💬 Divers, instructors, dive centres:
The chamber is here, functional and ready.
Don’t wait for an emergency to know who to call.
