Teejams Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Ok, so we had our Medicals yesterday. I've seen details before regarding what's involved, sometimes slightly varying. Here's what we did if your interested as a prep for yours. 2 children 8 & 10 and us the parents, did a urine sample in a plastic water cup. Ease of task, boys won! Then we all had a basic eye test. Cover one eye and read the letters on a board, that the nice lady is pointing out for you. Children did this too. If you wear glasses they asked you to take them along with your prescription. Height and weight for all of us. Chest X-rays for adults only, which we saw straight away and asked questions regarding anything we thought looked a bit iffy. We then all went into a room and spoke to the Lady Dr regarding our medical history and the X-rays that had been taken. Luckily my husband and I haven't any medical secrets we've kept from one another, as this discussion took place in front of the whole family. I'm not sure this is always the case, but something worth bearing in mind! Children - kept their clothes on and had their eyes and hips checked, followed by a prod around the tummy area. I had to strip down to my pants, for a breast check and tummy prod. Hubby had his tummy prodded but I don't think she squeezed his moobs? Then adults only had a blood test and that was that.......£680, thank you very much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teejams Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 No you need the HAP number to put on the medical application form. We got this once our visa application was in. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstyj Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Teejams, that's what confusing me, some people say you can have your medicals before you get your visa grant and others say you can't ?????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel25 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Do think you can apply to have your medicals done before you apply for the visa however we waited as only got 12 months date on the medicals so giving ourselves longer time in case we don't get our visa grant quickly x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Teejams, that's what confusing me, some people say you can have your medicals before you get your visa grant and others say you can't ?????????? @Kirstyj Here is the official link for medicals before a visa application. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Heal/meeting-the-health-requirement/health-examinations/my-health-declarations 1. Yes you can do the medical before you apply for the visa 2. You need a HAP ID which you can obtain by following the instructions on the link above. Hopefully this will put this question to bed now.
