ack Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Am just wondering what do they check in a babies medical exam. We have a month old and just submitted our 176 visa applic last night :biggrin: so obviously the next step is on our minds...police clearance and medicals. I see we have to have xray, bloods (yikes!!) but babies just say medical report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah that would be great Did you have a look through that link I attached. My little guy is not turning over yet and it says babies should reach this milestone by 4months...! Its interesting to see what theyll be checking for! Count backwards from 100 in units of 7........ Have you lodged your 176 Spencer?? Where you hoping to go to?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexy71 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi, We had medicals in December including our 2 year old and 14 month old. All the doctor did was listen to their hearts and chest and just a very basic physical check. The little ones head was measured and he asked a few questions but i think they saw enough just from watching them play. There didn't seem to be a formal assessment of any milestones and especially with your very little babies they are all different anyway. Don't worry, it will be very simple!

lebourvellec Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 When we had our medicals our daughter turned 1 the next day - she wasnt walking or crawling yet, and she still didnt have any teeth. The just took her weight - not very accuratly - (I stood on scales with both of us then just me and they subtracted the difference), took her length. The doctor just looked over her listened to her chest, that was really about it. I took her red book to show when she had her immunisations done. Her medicals were refered - then finalised 2 days later - she had an operation on her had when she was 5 months old, so I suspect it had to do with that but she is fine now.

Guest Spencer Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi just got back from having our meds at the bridge clinic ( they where fantastic) Took just under two hours for the four of us, two xrays for me and the wife and a couple of photos of the kids ( 4 years & 5 weeks) Then the meds , weight,blood pressure, eyes ,etc, then a chat with the doctor asked questions about us all then a full inspection! The kids just had a quick look over listen to chest,eyes,and hips etc, no probs Now we wait for the visa! Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
