Hi all just to let you know the good news had our visas granted today. Sent paper medicals beg June, email received 9th Aug asking for further report, report sent end of Aug and finally all granted 8th Oct. Good luck to all those waiting its so frustrating but worth it in the end. Now the hard work begins only got three months until we fly to Oz!!

I am applying for PR with a labour agreement I am joining the Australian Navy in January 2013 thats if the visas and medicals get sorted before then. Not sure why it took them so long to request the information but I front loaded my medicals and sent them paper and not via the e-health system. It is just a very frustrating system! I hope you get sorted real soon its not fair to be on your own and pregnant, fingers crossed for you and everyone else in the same situation. Keep us updated and look after yourself and baby. Sarah

Argghhhh need to vent frustration and anger to the only people that know how it feels! Had our medicals back in April the panel doctor at the time should of requested my husband attend an assessment with regards to a medical condition he ha but she never did! Had an email in August from global health requesting my husband see a specialist and get a report done! We have had this done and sent back in quick time! I have rung global health to find out any details only to be told they are still only dealing with july referrals and if I need to get it seen any quicker contact my CO! I then ring my CO and she tells me once the reports are with the MOC she cannot get them fast tracked and it will prob be at least another 3 months before we get any answers due to the back log! Sorry for the whinge but need to vent! It's good to see some positive posts and well done on all those who have had there visas and medicals finalised!

Hi Guys Any advice on getting medical referrals fast tracked. I lodged my families medicals back in June and it took them until the 9 Aug to ask for a report for my husband. We had the report done and it is being sent by the Panel Doctor I am just worried it could end up on someone's desk for weeks not getting actioned. I have emailed GH and my CO and no-one is responding. I have even called Australian House in London but they were unable to help because I have lodged my visa already. Lots of hair pulling at the moment. Thanks Sarah
