Hiya

I have just contacted the data protection people to get my police check forms through - it takes 40 days for them to be returned after you've completed them - apparently!?

We have not had anything through from immigration yet - just the Labour agreement from Canberra. It's valid for 12 months from the date of certificate - so you have nothing to lose!

Hi, Welcome to the Forum
Police checks and Meds are only valid for 1 year so if you are sure you are going in June they will be valid.
Not sure what stage you are at but Meds are sent directly by the doctor to OZ so you need a reference number for your application so they don't get lost. Good Luck

I am going through the application process for a 457 visa at the moment and they do not require police checks or medicals. All they have asked for is a chest x-ray - we have just got back from having ours done today. The X-Ray is filed electronicly by the doctor (we are doing an online application).

It states in the forms for the 457 not to get anything until asked for it.

Just realised your username means you may be a Nurse!
Think it is probably different for people working in a hospital i guess.

Ignore my above post, am probably talking bullicks.

I was of the understanding that once your police checks and medicals are booked which ever the first you have one year from that date to enter the country. Our police checks were requested 5th September 06 so we have until 5th September 07 to enter Australia.

they are valid for one year from the date on which they are issued, which usually means you have a year from the earlier date (police check issued or meds done) to enter AUs once the visa is issued. On occasions however you only get 6 months - if there are problems with the medical, for instance.

Hello
Are you sure you are not required to do police checks?
We came on a 457 and had to send them.
