Frontloading an application with a medical.
It has been reported that Department of Immigration staff are to be instructed to refuse to accept medical forms 26 and 160 received from outside Australia that have not been issued by the Skilled Processing Centre.
Does this mean that I cant front load my application with a medical? and if I do will they dispose of it and ask for another at further cost to me?
The reason I want to do this is that I will be travelling in asia when the application is being processed.
Would an alternative be to get a medical in say Singapore? Also where can I find a list of approved Doctors for the UK and for Singapore?
Thx for any replys.

Re: Frontloading an application with a medical.
Would advise not to front load medicals until you have a case number. Medicals go to a different address and in some cases, front loaded medicals have been lost
Sorry if it not what you wanted to hear

Front loading police checks is fine but do remember that they are only valid for 12 months
