mpt Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi All, My visa has been granted and I have to enter OZ before march 2013 with anundertaking to contact the Health Undertaking Department within 4 weeks of arrival. I have a distance past history of TB and have gone through the complete medication course however, the scars remain there. I am currently working and just want to land in Australia to validate my visa. I have following questions: 1. Is it mandatory to report to Health Undertaking Department on first short visit to Australia or it can be done later on second/third longer visits. 2. Will I need to stay in Australia until all the tests are done and reports received? 3. Can I take an appointment on email and plan my travel and accordingly. 4. If I cannot take an appointment via email then what is the process and time frame of getting appointments Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi swavik For me it was taken one and half months, the process is , your CO will forward all med documents to the MOC and mostly we need to wait more than two months up on case as they have backlog. You can mail to your CO and may be get the same answer. After signed Form 815 and sent it to CO and my visa was granted with in a week. Then I have done my first entry and came back on the same week. During the time I was called and mailed to health operation and been advised to take clinical examination upon my permanent move on next move. So i did not taken clinical examination and will have plan to move PERTH on October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letter will explain you for the date of first entry, your visa number and the validity of your visa date and year. If you are not received yet the grant letter , just remainder your CO by mail will help you to get your grant letter soon. The last date of your first entry is starts from your first date of medical examination by a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfarooq Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hello You don't need to get appointment for check up during validation trip. Once you permanently moved to OZ than only it is required to report health authorities within one month of your arrival. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstWeMeet Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 For those with health undertaking, everytime you go to Australia, regardless of the duration, call the health department and inform them when did you arrive and where are you leaving.
