H JUST RANG ADELAIDE TO CHECK ON OUR APPLICATION.
AND THE WOMAN TELLS US THAT WE MAY NEED TO GET A MEDICAL DONE FOR MY OH'S DAUGHTER SHE IS 18 DOESNT LIVE WITH US, WE DONT SUPPORT HER. THE CHECKLIST DIDNT ASK FOR HER TO HAVE MEDICAL?????????
IS THIS RIGHT.......
NOT BEING FUNNY BUT I COULDNT UNDERSTAND HER (FOREIGN)AND SHE COULDNT UNDERSTAND ME WHEN I WAS ASKING HER QUESTIONS. I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT THE CHECKLIST DIDNT ASK FOR HER MEDICALS. AND THEN I ASKED ABOUT THE CHECKLIST SAYING WHY DOESNT THINGS GET TOOK OF WHEN YOU SEND THEM LIKE YOUR PASSPORT (ONLY AN EXAMPLE TO HER) AND THEN SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY PASSPORT AAARRRGGGHHH

AND I WAS SO IMPRESSED AS I GOT THROUGH STRAIGHT AWAY NO WAITING..
WILL VALUE ANY HELP
THANKS

Hi Paula,
Perhaps you should doble check this out - when i applied for oz i brought one of my 3 daughters with me and was told that any immediate family that was UNDER 18 would have to have a medical done if they were migrating or not.
My middle daughter was not migrating with us and was under 18 so she had the medical done, my eldest daughter was not migrating either and was over 18 so she did not have the medical done.
Are you using an agent or doing it yourself ? either way i think you should get this checked out
good luck

Hi just want to add my son who is over 18 and lives with his father DIDN'T need a medical (his not going with us) so I can't see why they would want 1 for your daughter. Its only children who are under 18 who need a medical weather they are going with you or staying. I would ring ASPC again just to have this confirmed.

Good luck
