Actually, tinuloy ko na yung medical exam ko. I had it last Thursday since sabi nga raw, you'll have to go through it either way.
Question pala for anyone who can help regarding NBI clearance:
1. Is NBI clearance enough, or do you still need to get Police Clearance?
2. I need to get VISA Australia ang NBI Clearance, not Immigration Requirement or Travel Australia, right? Can anyone confirm? I just want to make sure.
3. Ano ang validity ng NBI Clearance for abroad purposes? 6 months or 1 year? The IED of your visa will depend on expiration date of this one, right?

https://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/my-health-declarations.htm
Before you start using My Health Declarations, you should use the information below to decide whether it is in your best interests to complete your health examinations before you lodge your visa application. Completing health examinations before lodging a visa application is not recommended for everyone and quicker processing is not guaranteed.
If you have already lodged a visa application, you should not use this service. Please wait until your case officer asks you to complete your health examinations and provides you with a HAP ID, or you will delay the processing of your visa application.
You should not use My Health Declarations if you:
have already lodged a visa application as this will slow down the processing of your visa application
the visa that you are intending to apply for can take more than six months to process.
This is because your health examination results are generally only valid to be used for your visa application for a maximum of twelve months. If processing of your visa application is delayed, you might need to repeat your health examinations at extra cost to you and your family. See assessment of health examination results for information about the validity periods for immigration health examinations.
