We had ours a month or so again and it was all painless. The doc was really great with our toddler who amazingly stood still for all the prodding and measuring. I had a panic about urine tests too - my son is in nappies and I had visions of following him around with a pot.... Anyway, the advice from everyone else is right, you don't need urine samples for little ones. It was just weight, height, visual fields (can you see the duck?), prodding about a bit and looking in ears/throat.

The blood test is sent off and comes back in about 3 days (or did for us) - my husband was recalled and had to do another one - I was convinced he had some serious disease but the doctor said it was more likely that the Lab just dropped the first sample. We had to pay again for the blood test but it was worth it when the visa came through last week!

Anyway, it'll be over soon - and once you get the VISA you can't believe you were ever worried about it.

Good luck - just a bit of advie - although I am sure that you will be ok...make sure u have drunk enough water before the urine sample! Our lad, had too much protein in his, so we had to wait in a pub while he drunk 1.5 litres of water and for it to get through his system! too much beer the nite before!!

Hi Steve

Form 160 is for the x-rays isn't it? So no you wouldn't need this because your 3 year old won't be having a x-ray. She would need Form 26 though for medical. Here's one just in case you need it http://www.australia.org.uk/vti/FORMS/26.pdf

Good Luck for tomorrow, you'll be fine
