Naku WA ang nag sponsor sa akin!! hahahaha!! Just keep in touch in case you need info about the program leading to BN. But I think every state have their own regulations regarding that. Anyhow, mga Pinoy Nurses pa! makakahanap at makakahanap tayo ng work sa AU!

Based on the DIAC Website:
"Processing times for health examinations not completed electronically will vary as the reports need to be referred to Australia for processing; this can take up to six weeks."
Since, eHealth is not avaiable here in Libya, I need to wait for 6 weeks!!!
Hoping for the best!!!!!

ANYWAY, to answer, there is what you call an Initial Entry Deadline in your visa grant letter - you need to come in before that date. This is usually one year after your medical examination report or your PCC, whichever is earlier.
Yes, pwede ka mauna then susunod nalang ang family once established na yung work mo down under.

initial entry date is your deadline to land in Australia - if you go beyond that, bye bye na ang pinakhirapan mo na visa.
Yes, you can go months before the said IED.

graduate na kayo sa "medical referred" thread..
Pwede na po kayo lumipad, kahit bukas na..
tama po.. dapat makapasok kayo (ikaw at ang lahat ng kasama sa visa grant) sa australia anytime before the IED para ma-activate ang visa record nyo sa AU immigration...
otherwise ma-void ang visa grant nyo..

napunta ko sa medical referred siguro dahil sa mga dineclare ko medical history and medications take ng husband ko.then narefer uli medical ko the second time after the first assessment kse nirequire nila ko to do additional tests kse i'll be working as a health practictioner.
nagpamedical ako sept 2012, naassess yung first referral ko mga dec 3 then the additional tests naclear nung jan 26... so about 4 months of nakakapraning na pag-aantay din. if the MOC is satisfied na i guess dun ka nila iclear.
