medicals question

[Guest kezza01]

hi, trying to get an idea of how much the whole move is going to cost...

 

we are are family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children age 13, 7 and 8) and looking at getting a subclass 189 visa.

 

looking at the prices of medicals I am quite shocked by how much it cost. can anyone give me an exact price for our group please and do they request you have a full medical etc.

 

thankyou

 

p.s we are all extremely healthy with no health issues.

Hello kezza01,

 

We are also a family of 5, I think prices may vary on where you go and also if one or both of you work as a doctor/nurse/midwife as they do extra tests, which cost more. Yes its alot but worth it in the end, ours we're done in london and cost £970.

 

Also being healthy does not affect cost, as they do the same medical to all regardless.

 

Hope this helps

Kev and Liz

Hi there,

 

true, the price for medicals is a shocker.

For the younger children under 10 you don't need to do an X-ray, that's saves a little bit of money. But for the rest of you a full medical is mandatory.

I'm pretty sure you all have to have medicals but children under a certain age will not require a blood test.

 

Also not sure what age and over the x ray is mandatory.

 

Here is the PDF on it all for you to have a read http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/26.pdf (hopefully its all still current).

 

Here is a list of the panel doctors in the UK. Click on the area that you are in and see where they are. Look at their websites or give them a call for actual pricing as it will vary.

To give you an idea of costs (and what each of you will need to undergo medical wise) have a look at the Spire pricelist and info
