I've guestimated £1500 max if it all works out.
£135 agents fee (wish I hadn't bothered)
£120 to get documents certified for skills assessment
£170 for ACS RPL
£750 for visa
£10 for police checks
£110 for medicals
Plus extras like postage, passport photos and what have you...

Probably close to GBP2500, not including validation trip which would add on loads.

Agent maybe GBP1500, medicals, translations, poilice certs, NZIS fees, lawyer's certifications - it all adds up. :(

We could have easily saved the agent fee if we'd encountered this forum/ sister Immi forum first.

Stat decs x4 - £20
Certified copies - Free
Police check - £10
Medical - £95
Xray - £45
Total Postage ~£10
Spouse Visa - £540

Total £720

Not too bad but I guess a spouse visa would be cheaper.

Agent £1800
Dimia £780
TRA £300
Meds-£400

Ours was a family medical fee X3, only I needed X-ray as my wife was pregnant and kids don't need one. All in about GBP150 (NZ).

Yep total cost...so if you have to pay for six meds that has to be included.........visa validation is excluded as the visa has been granted prior to this.....:D

IEAust £125
Agent £1400 worth every bloody penny...we had shed loads of document to get certified all hubbies education and skills stuff our agent photocopied and certified the whole lot

Visa's £700
PCC £20
Meds...well should have been £520 for 2 adults and 2 kids but the auld cow of a doc ended up costing a further £800 for **** all!!!!!!!!!!!!
