taniaholmes Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I know 100% how you feel, its a gut thing for me too.... I've made a subconscious decision that as soon as a May applicant gets a CO, Im going to get meds done, Ive already done my PCC as I had a driving mis-demeanour about 10 years ago and wanted to make sure it didn't appear on the certificate, luckily it didnt, thats dated late September and Ive been told they use the earlier date from your meds and PCC for your initial entry date..so mine (if i get the visa) will be that date anyway.... Definitely appreciate a point of view from the other side of the coin, also doing the meds early gives you more time if they get referred, so there's definitely advantages... Also, why not join the gang and put your details on the thread? Their are positives and negatives for doing your medicals early a lot of positives and 1 fat negative I wish you look and you will probably be OK, good luck :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinkydoo Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi Bpremji, We're very much in the same boat as you having applied on 15 June 2011. We decided to just go ahead and book medicals, and have them next Friday! Bit of a 'follow my gut' thing, but I'm taking an optomistic approach - assuming they don't suddenly remove my occupation over the next few months or anything else stops cat 4 processing, then as someone else said, I think we might be looking at COs in December and I'm quite happy to have to be in Oz by October next year. Plus Nov and Dec are going to be hectic enough for us, so we'd rather get meds and PCCs done now to get them out of the equation! I know a few people will think I'm a bit mad, but suppose all you have to do is look at all the 18 March email applicants who have meds done about 6 months ago, and most of them seem to have been dealt with, bar for a few who will hopefully get processed soon! We have also had our medicals done and are now awaiting police checks from UK and Oz, we submitted our application 1st June, we are aware that we may have to do it all again but were willing to take the risk, my OH medicals were referred and he had to have further checks done so this took some time tooand were not finalised until the end of September. Hoping that things carry on moving as they are now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p12aks Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Morning All, firstly congrats to those that have had their grants and CO's! Things are picking up! Just need a bit of advice really, what happens if a couple get pregnant during the application process? (not done medicals yet). I think the issue would lie with not being able to do a xray and hence not being granted?! the reason i ask is that my partner and i are thinking of having a baby then moving to aus a few months after the birth. just wanted to see if this would be possible? Any help would be much appreciated! Good Luck All! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be much appreciated! Good Luck All! From reading on other forums, it depends how far gone the pregnancy is. If its not too far then some clinics will still perform the medicals while having a plate across the stomach area to protect the baby during the xray. Depends on the Panel Doctor you use. I would contact your doctor. My wife and I put off having our 3rd due to this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are (or your wife is) pregnant at the time of medicals and their is no xray taken then you may find that your medical will only be valid for 6 months so if front loading this may reduce your entry date.
