spangley 19 Posted January 20, 2014 I've lodged my visa application and am awaiting a CO. In the meantime I'm trying to frontload my application, however I was advised by the local medical assessment centre that the assessment is only valid for 6 months. Do most people wait for the assigned CO to request a Med first? Anyone had any problems with expired med assessments? Muchly obliged.

ozlander 10 Posted January 20, 2014 When visa is granted, you will be given a time to complete your first entry. First entry time should be before medicals or pcc expires. (which one expires first) Both documents are valid for 1 year. Its better to provide them when requested so you will have more time to satisfy first entry reqrement.
