megawatts Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi guys, Anybody here who are still waiting for the results of their medical assessment from MOC for more than 30 days? Who suffers the same dilemna as me? Mine were refered last May 31, 2012 and until now I still have'nt a clue when Global health will start to get a look at them.. It's quiet frustrating...

Incata Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I understand from other posters that there has been a backlog at Global Health due to the number of people trying to get their applications in before the July 1st deadline. This resulted in a surge of applications and medicals, and as a result, an increase in the number of people being referred from their medicals. I understand that they are working through them as fast as they can, but it is very frustrating for those who are waiting to hear. Hope this helps.

megawatts Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Its actually more than frustrating when CO and Global Health could not even give you an assumption when it would be assessed, thus, make you freeze all your other plans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatts Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Guys lets post our medical timelines here so at least we coud somehow monitor what is going on in Global health, and we could have a view on were we stand now... Let me start: Mine: refered - May 30, 2012, finalised: May 31, 2012 daughter : finalised: June 4, 2012 wife: refered : May 31, 2012 : finalised : _______________ not yet as of July 21, 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My husbands was refered also on the 31st of may. His came back I think it was last week? They told him on the phone when it would likely be. That was just the xray which was refered though, which was a simple thing. Maybe yours was more complicated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatts Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 My wife has no medical history, and I think she's healthier than me.. i've also ask GH if there is anything that we might be concerned of, they said the meds looks ok and we have nothing to worry about... And what frustrates us is the fact that you see other people who are being referred much more later than us and just a few days later their case is already finalised..

megawatts Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Did the GH ask you for other supporting docs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 We didn't get asked for anything. Hubbie has scar tissue on his lung from a previous chest infection. They just had to refer it to a dr to look at to tick that that was all it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycplanner Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Mine have been referred since 4 July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoli Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 my 3 yr old son's was initially referred on 8th June then on 14th June they requested further info. Due to doctors being on holiday etc it took a little longer than we'd have liked to get it but our panel doctor finally sent the requested report to GH on 9th July..........and we've heard nothing since. Its the last thing we need to achieve to get our visa and feel like we're in limbo til we get it. Don't want to put house etc up for sale just in case..........its just a horrible waiting game. Good luck to those still waiting too xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest String bean Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 All 4 of ours (husband, wife and 2 kids) have been referred since June 29th. No medical problems and no contact from global health.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatts Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 We are on the same boat... I know exactly what it feels... Its just so frustrating that when ever I call GH for any updates, their answer is always they dont know when it will be assessed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoli Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 think I might try and phone later/tomorrow and see if I can find out what's happening with our son's medical, does anyone have a number to call GH from the UK and is there a specific department I need to ask for? also, what sort of details will I need to give them, just our TRN number or is there any other details they'll ask for? would like to have everything to hand when I phone so I'm not faffing about in a panic if they ask for something I don't have at hand lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahdawson86 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's so frustrating! I've tried calling but I just get a recorded message. I've tried emailing and I've had no response after 5 days. And I'm healthy! I don't even know why I got referred! (july 9th, still waiting...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoli Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 ok its taken me an hour and a half to get through and all I kept hearing was the message on their answering machine but FINALLY someone answered!! thank goodness I rang. There was a fault in their system and the medical report that was sent wasn't showing up so they were assuming it hadn't been sent! the kind lady I spoke to is going to contact the technical team urgently so their doctor can look at the report and make a decision asap.........so yes I'm still waiting but goodness knows how much longer it would have been if I hadn't phoned!!

megawatts Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 You know what i have noticed? The best time in ringing them up is around 2:30-3:00pm Sydney time.. Goodluck Sarah, hope you could contact them and let us here your experience with them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatts Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 That is why If we feel something that isn't right about the processing of our medicals, then we can call them up and see what is going on, anyway those who answers the phone in GH are actually not the Doctors but I think their job is to really answers those inquiries to people like us..
