What exactly means "employer checks" ?

This is where they check the veracity of employment details you provided DIAC. Sometimes they call your present/past employers over the phone to verify employment dates and details.
Occasionally, they do visit physically. I think, but am not sure, that DIAC sometimes uses outside people to do the physical visit part, particularly when outside Aus.
No strict rules on how it gets done. For some, they don't carry out checks.

Yep if you see any 'Agent Smith' type characters with shades on, lurking around the corner from your work, that's them checking up on you.

Ozmania, it is extremely unlikely that an application lodged on 30th September is being looked at yet. The required message is there from the start on all applications. When your CO wants you to go for medicals they will email you.

thks Bermudashorts!
I have seen people loading the medicals etc upfront. Not sure if that speeds up the process in any manner.
But i think i will prefer to wait for CO asking for these, lest i expire my reports.

No it doesn't speed things up. In fact it can delay things because the liklihood is, with the length of time taken for visas to be issued, front loaded Meds and PCC expire and then need to be redone.

No one should front load Meds and PCC unless it is specifically suggested by DIAC - eg British Spouse Visas. Anyone else should wait until asked.

front load Meds, -> Medical Check Result validity is only 1 years period.
so I don't want to choose that way

I have not come accross anybody ringing up and getting that response as anyone ringing up is unlikely to be using an agent - so things may not be as straight forward as it seems in my little world. It would be interesting to follow up with these applicants to see if what the ywere told on teh phone was accurate.

Regards

My application changed to 'Application being processed' further 2 days after I lodged in Jan 09 and I definately don't have a case officer as I am 886 Modl only.

Hi Sambo

We are talking about a second status - "Application being processed further".
