I've been lurking here for a short while and like many others, looks like I'll be spending some time here in the coming months..

As a quick introduction, I'm a married 30-something with a young baby and the goal is to migrate to Melbourne from Finland, hopefully within the next 12-18 months. My wife's a pharmacist and I'm in the ICT sector with a long career already behind me, so I'm guessing our chances of employment in Australia are quite decent. The current status is that I'm waiting on the ACS assessment.

Anyhow, I do have a question also: does anyone know whether chest x-rays are always required? The official guide says "Usually, a chest x-ray, medical examination [...] will be required", but any personal experience from anyone?
