Question Medicals - How much and where from?

Once my application goes in I understand I will be asked at some point to supply a Medical and Radiological report. If someone could shed light on the following I would be grateful:

- What are they? HIV test etc..
- Where can I get them & how do you arrange them?
- What would be a reasonable amount to pay?

Many thanks!!!

Hi,

We had our medicals done recently and they cost as follows:

X -ray £50.00 per adult
Blood Test Result £23.00 per adult
Medical including Blood test £50.00 per adult £25 for our child.

The blood test is for HIV, I arrange our medicals myself there is a list
available at www.Gomatilda.com and that will
tell you which doctors they
authorise for the medicals and where to get your X-ray done. We had ours
done at our local hospital in Dorset.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Jo xx

Hi,

We just had our X-rays & medicals at Pinehill Hospital, Hitchin,
Hertfordshire - Dr Nigel Stanley.

Medicals & X-ray £120 per adult, child's medical £40.

This included blood test (HIV also Hep B if you work in the health sector).
We were asked to take along a urine sample & a letter from our GP if we had
any medical history in the last 5yrs that would have an impact on our future
or were on regular medication. 2 adults and 2 children took 1hr in total
including X-ray.

You can download the full list of panel doctors & radiologists from
www.immi.gov.au/allforms/do-
ctors/index.htm

Hi there,

We were sent a letter with the relevant forms requesting medicals and police clearance checks. Enclosed was a list of panel doctors that you can attend. We went to our local one in Dundee and was charged £450 for two adults and two children (both under 5 so they did not need a urinalysis - to check for diabetes etc.) The cost included our xrays which was arranged when we made the docs appointment. All in all everything went ok.

If you want to know anymore just ask.

Regards

Ginny.
