Advice on sending medicals to Australia
 

Can anyone offer us some advice please?

I am a nurse and am currently awaiting return of the modified assessment from ANCI, which was sent off on 28th June.

We have our medicals booked for 17th August.

Now as we can’t send off our visa application to Adelaide until I get ANCI assessment back, I am wondering what we should do with the medical forms once completed.

Should we:
1. Ask doctors to return to us so that we can post everything to Adelaide together?
2. Ask doctors to send to Australia prior to the main application?

If we follow option 2, am I right in thinking that for post July 1st applications medical forms are sent to Sydney not Adelaide?

Any advice appreciated.

Quick update,

Received an email this morning from ANCI, which says "the letter of determination" was posted on Friday last week.

Therefore (postal services permitting) I should have the asessment back before the results of the medicals are ready.

Assuming the assessment is positive, any advice on whether docs should post direct to Aus or return to me?

If I was you primerose I would wait and send everything off together. I'm sure if your front loading your application then you just include the medicals with the visa application. Ask your doctor to give them to you then you can courier it all off together.

If you send it separately then your best off waiting for your case number before forwarding on the meds just in case your meds get lost in all the other applications.
