Invitation to apply for visa under SkillSelect
Hello,
I received an invitation to lodge a visa application under SkillSelect. Is it at this stage which I need to submit my medical and police certificate or will it be requested once I submit my visa application and they start to process?
Thank you.

Re: Invitation to apply for visa under SkillSelect
It would be usual to wait until you receive a request from your CO before undertaking medicals and PCCs. Both medicals & PCCs have a limited validity (of no more than a year), and whilst the application may be processed much faster than that, if it does go over that period, you'd be faced with having to do them again. It's not cheap when you have to repeat them - speaking from experience!

The usual recommendation is to wait for a request before doing medicals and PCC's

DIBP have received a lot of EoIs for the occupation 'telecom engineer', and so it's possible that you may need to wait until next financial year (1st July) before you're invited. It is one of six occupations that DIBP put a limit on because of the high level of demand. You won't need to lodge another EoI, as they remain valid for two years. You just need to be patient.
