meds for 175 & 457
Hi.. wonder if anyone can help
i am applying for a 175 and a 457 visa at the same time.... i have already submitted my 175 application online, however waiting for my nomination number from employer before i can apply for the 457. My question is: can i go ahead with the medicals for the 175 now and then send the same medicals once i have applied for the 457.... (not sure how it works... do you get a receipt with a ref number that you send which they then tally up with your meds? or what?)
thankyou in advance

by the way i am a nurse so i do need full meds for 457 !!!

The only stipulation from what I can remember is that the meds are still valid which makes sense really.
I think when you apply for your second visa your CO can access your meds via your passport number.
Best of luck.

Yes you can use the same medical results for both or any visa you applied with the same health requirements provided the results are still valid. It is valid for a year (excluding chest x-ray) but I am not sure how they determine when is the starting date for a year, probably from the date your doctor signed and dated the results.
The CO will take the results from your first visa from their database if it is available and still valid for the subsequent visa as far as I know.
X-ray only last for 3 months though if I am right so I am not sure if you would be required to do a chest x-ray again when it runs out and your 175 is still being processed.
