Chasing up medicals with HOC, Sydney

[Guest mossmac]

Hi there,

 

Has anyone else contacted the Health Operations Centre (HOC) in Sydney to 'chase up' their medicals and enquire about how much longer they are expected to take?

 

We did this last week and they did reply to our email but their email was so vague that we had difficulty interpreting it! This is what they sent (received 2nd April). Anyone able to decipher the meaning?!

 

Dear John,

 

Further to your email regarding your wifes medicals. Yes, they have

been

referred to the Medical Officer of the Commonwealth (MOC) for

assessment on

25 March 2008.

 

Please note that MOC's are currently assesing the medicals received on

17

March 2008.

 

Any help appreciated,

 

John and Sarah
