1) We just called Bupa on our arrival and they just updated my record that we already arrived (they will ask for our HAP ID and other personal details).
2) Mention niyo lang na days lang kayo and kung kelan niyo balak bumalik. Then they will advise you to call them again when you get back to settle.
I suggest using the direct bupa contact number for medical visa services: 1300 794 919 (a free call). Wag yung hotline nila kasi andami pang redirection and madami pang tanong. Hehe

Both me and my wife are non-medical related professionals and our daughter is just a year and 4 months old.
I checked the form 815 notes and it says that it is only required for those that have risk for TB exposure and other medical related stuff.
Should we still fill-up this form or not necessary as it may just caused some confusion to the CO?

Upon arrival mo dito sa Aussie, let BUPA know and they will ask details from you e.g. Name, address (aussie) and contact number.
i-send nila yung letter dun sa address mo nakalagay dun sa letter yung details ng hospital and kung anong date ka pupunta.
Sa hospital, sa case ko, sinabi sa akin yung purpose ng 815.
So just to check lang yung nakitang findings sa previous xray ko while outside aussie pa ako.
At pinapili ako kung mag xray ba ako ulit or skin test.
and then its negative.
They have to send sa DIBP.
Good luck Kabayan!
Cheers to that, kampay!
