Mrs Depp Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi, I've done a search but can't find this anywhere so apologies if it's already been posted. I've just been having a nosey at the other panel doctors on the DIAC website and it now states: 'The United Kingdom and Ireland medical panel are currently under review. Please ensure you check doctor details close to the date of your intended appointment as changes may have been made and previously listed clinics may no longer be available. Failure to attend a formal clinic may result in you being requested to repeat your medical examination.' http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/u/united-kingdom/panel-doctors.htm I don't remember seeing this when I was booking our medicals at the end of May, does anyone know why this is or when it's likely to change? It'll be just my luck that they change it just as we are about to go for ours! :eek: Cheers Clare x P.S i'm computer illiterate - if the link doesn't work!

Guest GeorgeD Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The website said exactly the same this time last year. Not sure if it has said that for a year or if it is just because it is approaching the end of the financial year in Australia and it is a time they normally review them. Call the clinic/doctor and ask them if they are going to be on next year's list...I did last year and one of them told me they were no longer doing them after 1st July, so they probably know already.

wrussell Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 From The Visa by W Russell: We are going to Manila and we are going to buy open-dated return tickets for Joy and Romeo. We are going to live in Australia. It's up to me. Joy and Romeo are going to have a thorough medical examination to see whether they are likely to pass the scrutiny that will be ordered by the embassy. The list of embassy-approved doctors has been reduced to very few because of corruption and worthless certifications by very many. Carriers of tuberculosis, hepatitis, malaria, various STDs, and God knows what else, have been declared fit to travel far too often. Ordinary incompetence accounts for some of the oversights, bribery accounts for most of them. Humanitarian compassion plays a part, sick children and their mothers are better off in Australia than here. All children are better off abroad, even in the hands of a raving pervert. Is this why the police hold their homoscopes to a blinded eye in Pagsanjan and Ermita? The few degenerates who are convicted face a nasty slap on the wrist and a deportation order, so they can return home to be severely counselled. The minimum penalty should be ten years in a Philippine prison, followed by salvaging for those who survive. Perhaps I am not alone in my thoughts. There have been a few newspaper reports of foreign tourists found dead in bed, with the police trying unsuccessfully to locate their youthful male companions—children little older than Romeo. Something for the children. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
