Hep B test for skilled migrants

Lara

Hello,
I am confused with the medical requirements for skilled immigrants. Some says they require everyone to undergo hep b screening whilst others say hep b screening is for those who intend to work in the medical field only.
I am a hep b positive applicant and an accountant, do they really require hep b screening for my profession?

Thank you so much and god bless!

@hopeful_mea , congrats sa u and to your family.. ..I have some few questions na baka masagot mo.
1.0 Nagdeclare ka ba during medical?
2.0 May additional laboratory tests ka ba na na-upload sa health references mo?
3.0 Did your CO required you for additional test in case na nag declare ka as hepa b positive?

@Hephcex@gmail.com thank u!
1. yep, i called nationwide davao before ako pumunta dun and i told them i have it pero ang sabi lng nila no need to bring kahit anong docs re: hepa ko kasi hindi sila mg.add ng tests na hindi hinihingi sa type of visa
2. wala kasi ayaw din tanggapin ng clinic
3. n/a

@hopeful_mea hindi din naman kase kasama sa medical check ang hepa diba?

@hopeful_mea , thanks for the info. Hope that maging positive din ang magiging result para sakin. But for the meantime, I'm praying na makakuha ako ng invitation.. By the way just to clarify, when you say na nagdeclare ka na meron kang hepa B, was that declaration documented or you just mentioned it sa clinic kung san ka nagpamedical?

hopeful_mea

@Hephcex@gmail.com verbal lang yun tas sa phone lang God bless! darating din yang invite nyo =D

[email protected]

@hopeful_mea , thanks we're praying for it na dumating na... .. so meaning, di ka na rin nag declare sa "health declaration" mo? kelan pala ang big move nyo?

@jhun2384 , congrats sa u. Hope na makuha mo na ang visa mo soon. May I know kung sang clinic ka nagpagawa ng medical mo?
@hopeful_mea , thanks. God Bless sa BM..

@hopeful_mea , once you receive the visa, may I know if for how long ang validity para makapunta ng OZ?

jhun2384

@Hephcex@gmail.com sa St Lukes BGC.Mag susubmit pa lng ako ng visa application. Inuna ko ung medical incase lng magka problema alam ko agad :>

[email protected]

@jhun2384 , may I know how did you approach yung sa medical mo sa bgc... did you requested for same medical tests for australian visa? Can you still use this medical result of yours for the visa since you have done it prior the visa application or you will need to undergo another set of medical test again? thanks... magkano pala inabot sa medical fee?

jhun2384

there's only one medical process for the visa application. create a Hap Id and bring it to your clinic of choice.Just tell them your "country'. They would know what to do. The result will be forwarded by st lukes to au immigration for assessment. you can have your medical before visa lodgement. just upload your emedical/hap id when you lodge na your visa. P 6,600 cost ng medical.

hopeful_mea

@Hephcex@gmail.com within 1 year after ng date of nbi clearance or medical result whichever is earlier dpat mka.initial entry. in my case march 2018 ang deadline namin. feb kmi bm.

@jhun2384 , thanks. This is very informative. Mas magada pala yung ganun ang gagawin para at least cgurado na malalaman mo ang medical result bago maglodge ng visa.. just to clarify further, let me know kng eto yung steps na ginawa mo/nangyari sa application mo.
1.0 Invitation receieved
2.0 Created HAP ID
3.0 Did Medical at St Lukes
4.0 Received positive medical result
5.0 Visa Lodge (including payment)
6.0 Waiting and praying for the visa approval..

By the way, san/paano mo pala naaman ang positive medical result mo? Did St Luke's provided you the result? thanks

@hopeful_mea , salamat uli sa info and God Bless sa BM nyo. The good news from your visa application gives me a boost to push thru my application as well..

jhun2384

makikita mo sa emedical mo ung status. pag ok na sya , ganito ung status nya. " no action required".
