Morning, i have just arranged mine and have been quoted £110 for meds and £75 for xrays per person over 16. I had better take my purse though as i also have a tattoo so may be hit for extra - i shall let you know.Just for added info this is through the Glasgow centres

I remember I think the Doctor telling me that I didnt need to have the Hep B&C tests for my tat but he suggested I did just to be on the safe side

Hi Everyone!!

I'm at work today - booo but thought I'd say hello!

We paid £70 for x-ray & 120 for meds including blood tests. That was in Bath and it was really quick and easy! My OH was worrying about her snapping on a rubber glove and what orifices they had to check but nothing like that happened - thankfully

We still haven't decided when to return to Aus, we now we'll definately be going back before next March though, we just can't decide on if we should stay until Next year and have Christmas here, or if we should just go back to Aus asap! - If it was up to me I'd be there yesterday lol but we need to think with our heads and plan things!

With regards the meds, if you had your tatoos a long time ago (mine is 16 years). Then you won't need the hep tests, so won't incur the extra charges. If the tats are new then you will have to have them.

mmm..work...Have to head there soon myself. but I am confident in the knowledge that next week is my last week there ( I had some divine inspiration and booked the whole of May off in January), but we shall head off as soon as possible so we dont have to pay any more rent here, or get the car re insured or re taxed

do you think we`ll have to pay extra bloods for this tattoo

possibly

Here was me worrying about a tiny butterfly on my shoulder

Jusy a quick note what ETA date was on your visa, as mine says I have to be in Oz on the 5th Oct 2007, and I was thinking about as you got your visa the same day as me

Ours is March as thats when we had the police checks and the medicals

I want to go now though

that's us another small step forward, my daughters police check came through today, thankfully no shocks or surprises
i am still waiting on mine - should i be worried it didn't come at the same time i can't remember any indiscretions that the police would know about

Kirsty, if i was you i would be on the first possible plane, we are hoping to be there before xmas (if the visas come on time, the house sells, i finish my open learning course etc etc)

I want to, but my husband wants to stay until after Christmas. I want to have Christmas with my family but he wants one last Christmas with his. So we're in dispute with that one at the moment

Hey Kristy, my hubby says his contract might finish in october so we might be going earlier than I expected!! WHo knows......just been on the real estate website again.......I had thought I wanted to be close to the city, but you can get so much more for your money further out cant you!! I mean, like Cashmere and Samford and places like that.....thing is how long would it take to get into the city from these places.........????

Hi Rachel!

Wow October! Lucky you!!! Well I didn't know where those places were lol but I asked my sister and this is what she has said


Samford is about 20 min from Petire but can take about 45 mins to get to the city, no public transport out there. And Cashmere is about 10 mins from Petire and about 10 mins from Albany creek where you woud be able to catch public transport, Cashmere would be about 5 mins also, only because of the traffic though as if I went to my work on a sunday it would only take me about 25 min but on the weekday it can take me upto 1hr and 15 mins. Just depends on the traffic conditions on the day mondays are horrific.


Petrie is where my sister lives and it's Very North lol but it's where I'll be living! So you should move near there lol

Hi Struth....
We paid just over £300 for 1 adult and 2 kids.......
£100 for adult meds and £50 for kids........
X-rays were £40 each........for me and 13 year old son
Blood test £25

When are you having them done??? C x

Sorry to butt in, but we weren't asked how old our tattoo's were, and mine is over 16 years, (well over ) we both had to have the hep tests.
