HELP - Kids Medicals - is it true ?
Hi
Not sure if most of you are in the same boat but we decided that until we got the Final YES we did not want to tell our parents, or my OH two Children 17 & 15, for one reason we are not really sure what the responce would be & did not want to maybe get any ones hopes up and it being a NO, so we decided to wait.
However as you may know we got our request to gets Meds etc last Monday. On all the paperwork there is nothing on there that suggests that even though at this point we were not thinking about taking the kids we have been requested by our Agent that all children under the age of 18 have to have a medical even if they are not going.
IS THIS TRUE.

I was told that it has (correct me if I'm wrong) something to do with making sure every dependant child that can ever come to Australia as being part of your family passes the medical (is healthy).

Yes it is. And the 17 year old will also need a police check. Unless he or she is about to turn 18, once the child turns 18 if not dependent, non-migrating medical and police checks are not required. When does the 17 year old turn 18, and are they sure they don't want to come with you?

Hi Jaj
She turns 18 on 6th June, and she is currently (living in) at College doing animal management, and has been advised by her tutors that she would benefit from continuing next year onto a new 2 year course solely for exotic animals.
They have both been to Oz before when they were younger & I have been told that they loved it, she has previously told us that she would like to work in Melbourne Zoo as they have big cats there and thats whats she wants to do. So eventually we would hope that she would like to come over.
The younger one is very laid back and we are hoping that this will not be too much of a problem for him.
But it either of them want to come we dont have a problem with that, just have to tell them now. :scared: :scared:

Is she living with (and supported by) you or another parent?

Same goes for the younger child in due course.
