Harpersgirl Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hello hello :biggrin: How will we know whether we need a medical or come to that who will need a medical? Having studied the DIAC guidelines my interpretation is that we won't BUT I keep seeing posts about children having medicals and am now wondering about my two littlies? My husband is the main applicant for a 457 in Perth, with myself our 20 year old twins, 6 year and 3 year old. Is it worth booking with our nearest panel doctor in case?

Peach Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 For a 457 visa most applicants will not require a medical (normally only people working medical professions). If at a later stage you apply for permanent visas then the whole family will need to undertake medical examination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest17520 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi, I needed a medical for my 457 back in 2007 and I'm not in a medical job - I work in an office. Best thing to do is wait to see if DIAC ask you to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes with 4 adults and two little uns you are looking at over £1000 I wouldn't do it if you don't have to. Just a thought with the 2 20 year olds will they remain dependent on you long enough for them to get PR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix16 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 peach is quite right,I believe the rules changed in recent times, we are on a 457, Hubby and daughter did not require a medical, I didn't either actually but as I declared a pre existing medical condition on the visa application my migration agent strongly urged me to have one in the event that DIAC subsequently requested one. in the end I had a medical at Manchester, all went very smoothly and the 457 was granted 3 days after the visa application was submitted!
