It has been reported that Department of Immigration staff are to be instructed to refuse to accept medical forms 26 and 160 received from outside Australia that have not been issued by the Skilled Processing Centre.


Does this mean that I cant front load my application with a medical? and if I do will they dispose of it and ask for another at further cost to me?


The reason I want to do this is that I will be travelling in asia when the application is being processed.
Would an alternative be to get a medical in say Singapore? Also where can I find a list of approved Doctors for the UK and for Singapore?

Thx for any replys.

I have no idea but it may help to post it on the immigration forum as a few migration experts look in there regularly and should be able to help.

What sort of visa are you applying for?

Hi Mate

I phoned DIMIA Last night, I have already front loaded my 47sk offshore skilled independent - sent it about 2 weeks ago. The'yve quite happily taken the money from my credit card.... :-)

I phoned them to see whats next- I asked if it was ok to front load meds and pcc's and the lady said yeah no problem at all.....

Go ahead and call them if concerned in advance -
0061396575115 (might be 2 or 22 at the end of that ! sorry - my phone doesnt differentiate between the 2 for option 2 or the 2 I dialled!)

Hi Rory

We're about to submit our skilled independent and are front loading with both medicals and police certificate. Our agent has spoken with various people at DIMIA and it seems that if you are on MODL then they are advising to front load. Not sure if this helps you ?
