No, nothing again... But im not getting that disappointed with it now as its been going on for that long you just accept it... So it should make it more of a bigger surprise when (Or if) we get that magical Email...
Well its been over 4 weeks now and still no Ozzy police check, i dont expect a quick reply from the email that i just sent today as i only got a reply last Friday from an email that i sent on the 23.6.12 about the online application...
And we are still waiting for my OH`s meds to be finalised... Like a few on here say, its a waiting game...

Had our medicals on Friday, Dans (the main applicant) are finalised but mine are currently all saying received but not finalised yet. Does that mean theyve prob been referred??

Thanks

Hi nycplanner,

As soon as I know something, I will post at PomsInOz. Another question, Is it normal that my application status says "Further medical results referred"? The doctor told me everything was ok and that my health is normal, so I hope that text is usual in the application procedure.

Yes shelly23, I hope the same! Tomorrow I will email my agent in order to know if there is news. I checked on the application status but nothing. Will they email to my agent at the same time they post it on the application status online?

Hi racheldan,

I can't help you, but please SOMEONE who knows what it means!! In my case both me and my wife are in the status of "further medical results referred" from 09/Jul so I don't know what to expect and how long it will take.

If your medical is referred, it doesn't necessarily mean you have some kind of health problem. It just takes longer to change your medical to finalised and then met. My family medical was referred for 4 working days, then changed to finalised and met in 2 days. Some others' medicals were referred for weeks, or months but at the end of the day, they were all finalised. So don't worry mate, it's just a waiting game

Many of us are in the same boat. When your medicals are referred, it just means that they have been sent to a MOC (Medical Officer of the Commonwealth) to look over and ultimately finalise. In some cases it can seemingly be random, in other cases it can be for a minor discrepancy. In my case it was likely due to a second x-ray that needed to be done (there were no problems). However, the Health Operations Centre (HOC) that manages this entire process is apparently very backlogged and no one seems to know how long it will take for meds to be finalised. It's a waiting game at this point. I've read on here and other forums that it is taking them around 6-8 weeks to finalise medicals.
