Online application & medicals

**craignkaren** · 18-10-2008, 04:45 PM

we went to leeds oz expo today and spoke to doctors who do the immigration medicals, thought i'd pass on some interesting information!
they said that when some people turn up for medicals they fail because its found they have undiagnosed high blood pressure or a poor bmi, they suggested that applicants get their bp and bmi checked at their own doctors in advance so things can be corrected before the medical! with the bmi allow some time to loose weight if you think you're at risk.
ttfn.

2. Print form 47P.
3. Carefully read the information and comply with any instructions contained in the form.
4. Complete the form in English (where appropriate).
5. Forward the completed form and any requested documents to the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre within 28 days from the date you lodged your application.

Form 47P is a guide, there's nothing to fill up...in the end you just need to submit the clearance certificate. I've submitted mine and labelled it as Form 47P. Please correct me if I'm wrong...
