    Hi, Sorry if there are any other recent posts with a similar subject (I can only find ones from back in 2018). I am currently in Australia, going from a 482 to a 190 visa, and need to have a medical. As part of my medical, I need a chest x-ray. I'm aware as I'm pregnant I can postpone this part until after the baby is born, but my question is will this affect the processing of the visa? ie will immigration not look at our application until I have had the chest x-ray? I can't find any information online about if/how postponing affects processing? I am a radiographer so am fully aware the risks to my unborn child when having a chest x-ray are extremely low (as they will provide a lead skirt to wear around my abdomen), but if it doesn't change the processing time I, of course, would rather wait 5 months and have zero risk to my baby. Any help would be greatly appreicated. Laura

    Hi, I'm so confused by Health insurance! I've read a few posts here but can't find any clear answers. Were from the UK so will be able to access medicare via the reciprocal agreement. The terms of my visa state I must maintain adequate health insurance but does medicare count as adequate? If not, what does count? What needs to be covered? I've even tried to contact medicare but no reply. Can we only apply for insurance specifically for temporary visa holders? Its so expensive Any help would be great, thanks

    wow! bet that cost an absolute fortune, but needs must! Best of luck!! Where is it you're headed?

    Congratulations!! How exciting. When are you planning to get over there?

    No, I thought about it but there didn't seem an appropriate section for it. I just figured they would search for my application after granting the exemption as you have to put your visa application ID on the exemption form

    My AHPRA hasn't been approved yet(I've just got it in principle) and my Visa was granted. Ahpra have been great and given me 2 extensions so far but hopefully I'll be over before the expiry of this current extension

    I'm unsure. Im working for cancer screening so I'll be employed by the department of health so I assume they are accredited. Ive been waiting around 3 months.

    I'm a breast radiographer and mammography had to stop during the peak of covid so both my employer and I detailed how many women had gone without a mammogram during this period and I detailed how this could affect people ie missed cancers etc. In my letter I went into more detail about my job role etc. Has OT been stopped or services reduced during covid in aus? Having you over would mean more rehab for Australian clients

    I got a letter from my employer saying why they needed me over, my degree and post grad certificates to show I was actually qualified for the job and I wrote a letter with more detail as to why my job is critical to Australia

    Me too! Applied 13th July. But no visa still! Just showing as received, hasn't been looked at yet!!

    Isnt it just! Guess theres lots of us in the same boat. I would definitely apply for exemption now, it cant hurt. The immi international team were really helpful when I called, and if they advised it, it must be correct!

    I applied for exemption 8 weeks after applying for 482, after calling immigration direct and being advised that they are prioritising those with exemption applications. However, it's been 3 weeks and I've not heard anything, from visa or exemption...and visa times have now gone up to 4 months!! Feels like well never get there!!

    I'd be interested to find this out too. I've applied for exemption this week after waiting 2 months to hear from my 482 application. I too am coming over to do a medical job. Wondering how long it might take before exemption is looked at? Thanks
