we want to start the process but research is the key.

Hello,
there are appointed panel doctors that can only do the medicals, so unfortunately you cant use your gp were abouts are you living we are in ireland and found a doctor in tullamore they have a family rate for medicals so thats 300 euro and then you have to get chest x rays they are about 75 euro each
there is 5 of us so not a bad price but we rang around a few to get the best deal some were very expensive . Health Requirements for Visa Applicants

i don't know much about Perth or Melbourne as we are moving to queensland but i know there are a few here there already who will fill you in there

good luck with it all
