Provide Health assessement before or after PR application lodging?

[Guest workeroverseas]

Happy New year and holidays to everbody. Wish you all the best! I have an urgent question needing some expertise help.

I have worked in Australia for 3 years. My comany has agreed to sponsoring my Australian PR application (subclass 856). One agent has been assigned to me. Of course the agent has asked me to provide many documents.I has been doing accordingly.But I think one point is not very clear or even not correct. My spouse and kid are not in Australia and they don't have plan to migrate with me now. According to checklist of Employer Nomination Scheme, non-migrating family members are also required to undertake health assessments.I have done my own medical check here,but one question is that, do my spouse and kid have to have health assessement before or after lodging my PR appciation ? Because in the form (1071i FORM)of Health requirement, it says that "If you are overseas – do not complete your health examination before you lodge your visa application. The department will provide applicants with detals of the medical examination required for your circumstances." The agent told me that my family members must provide the health assessements now (before lodgement). I doubt that. Does any expert know that they should have the heath examination now or after lodgement ?

thanks a lot in advance.

I took my health examination 2 months before to apply to DIAC (17/Nov/2010), as a result, I think HOC sent my medical reports to MOC for further check due to the date of X-Ray/HIV tests. My pannel doctor told my nothing to worry about because X-Ray and HIV reports are useful for 6 month even. Nevertheless, simple blood test need to be on the same month.
