Justmish2009 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 We just had medicals done at Rosebank. Dr Cobb was super friendly. For my 3yr old son we had an option of a skin test which we would have had to come back or a blood test for TB. We opted for the blood test as we don't need to go back to the doc. Now just waiting for police clearances to be ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackoFam Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks Justmish, a blood test would've been easier for us. I wonder why Hatmed didn't mention? Will ask them on friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justmish2009 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi JackoFam, Rosebank also only mentioned the skin test on the phone. When we got to doctors room there was a sign with the options. Maybe it is new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackoFam Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks guys - I am pretty anxious about the medicals - basically our last hurdle (assuming our PCCs arrive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justmish2009 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 We were also stressed about medicals but they were super easy and doctor was very friendly. So don't stress. We also just waiting for PCC's. Hopefully they done before CO contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackoFam Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks Justmish. We only applied for PCCs on Monday and our agent will be delivering them to CRC tomorrow so it might still take awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justmish2009 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 No problem, we applied for our PCC's 11 December and they only showed on their system on 25 December. I phoned them yesterday and they said will take about another 2 weeks. Gonna be touch and go whether we get them before CO contact as we also applied for visa on 11 December. Just a tip for your medicals. We had to strip down to our underwear for the medical. Did not know this before appointment. So wear appropriate garments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackoFam Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Mmmm I see now we should have applied for our PCCs earlier. We lodged our visa on 15 December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chips Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Good luck with your Pcc's guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackoFam Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks Chips. We went for our medicals yesterday and it was a very smooth process. My sons mantoux test was negative and as far as we could tell our chest xrays were clear as well but we will see if Oz requests the extra sputum tests for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
