Pero in summary, your NBI CLearance is still valid kaya lang you may end up having an Initial Entry Date so soon. Malapit na kasi ang May so once nagrant VISA mo baka kelangan mo na mag-IED. Pero kung ok ka lang dun, then just submit your current clearance.
Health and character clearances have a limited validity period, in most cases 12 months from their date of issue.
It is the validity of these clearances which determines the Initial Entry Date (IED) that is specified as a condition of the grant of a visa. That is, the IED is the date by which an applicant and any dependents included in the application must make an initial entry to Australia, and it is the earliest expiry date of all clearances which is chosen. An IED is also applicable to applicants who are already in Australia on other visas who will be required to depart Australia for the grant of this visa. All clearances must be valid for the grant of a visa.

General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process
..pag parents, siblings, place them as "other family members". Huwag mo sila ilagay sa "non-migrating dependents". Kasi pag sa "non-migrating dependents".. siya yung wife and kids mo. And they will require na i-medical din sila. Medyo nalito ko nun kasi akala ko kelangan pa imedical yung parents ko din kasi nalagay ko sila sa "non-migrating dependents" nga.. kaya nagtanong ako sa CO ko. Buti na lang mabaet yung CO ko.. sya na naglipat sa "other family members" at hindi na daw kelangan nga imedical parents ko.. same din sa siblings.
