Hi Rob

Blood tests are tested for HIV, Hep B and Hep C if you work in the medical profession. Myself, Husband and my 17 year olf son had to have HIV, and because my husband has got tattoos and i have ears piereced (even though i have been tested for hep b and c before as i am a midwife) we had to be tested for them again.
The clinic where went for medicals state anyone over the age of 17 needed blood tests, luckily my 12 year old son got away with it!

Hope this helps

I'm sure it's only me that has to go through the joy of the bloods (this afternoon in fact!) as I'm the one that's going to be working in the hospital. All the emails I got from immi said that my OH just needs the chest x-ray as he won't be working in a hospital - it said he'd need a full medical if he were to tho.

Thanks Katamina

Hi Every adult needs a blood test and a full medical. Your 13 year old won't need a blood test but the other 2 guys will.

They've only requested a medical for myself - my husband only has to have a chest xray on a 457.

This is part of the email that I got sent after I lodged my E457 application regarding my OH:

Please be informed that if ****************** during
his stay in Australia will be in a classroom situation, he would require
Medical examination and X-ray or if he will be working in a hospital
environment as a health care worker, then he would require Medical
examination, X-ray and blood tests for Hep-B, Hep-C & HIV also.

Heading to practically the same place as you! Am going to be working at the RBWH

Oh yeah, had to have blood taken outta my hand to make blood tests all the worse - I don't let go of it too easily!!

See you out there and keep in touch!

Hi Guys,
I am planning to work in health care at Cairns Base Hospital.
I ahve booked Chest x-ray and Medical exam along with bloods. Just wondering what seems to be the average charge, people are encountering??

Cheers

Yes! We'll have to keep in touch cos our timelines are going to be quite similar - you are going on a 457 aren't ya? Saw you'd put summat on the E457 thread....

My medical with bloods was £240 & xrays £126 for two

temp visas only need bloods for main applicant if working in health environment, accompanying adults chest xray only. PR visas all adults need full meds inc bloods.

LUNANBAY

Yeah
Meds will be sent by E-mail next tuesday! so fingers crossed for quick turnaround!!
Hopefully could even sneak under the radar for the end of next month!

Hi Northern Bird
Thanks, hopefully save me a couple of quid next week, but its in Glasgow, so that automatically means shopping trip! so woteva I save will lose in the next instance!
No doubt they will advise me to have them done, that'll send Missus off into a flat spin! cheers
