Health Forms. Thanks for the link, but it's the same as the forms I mentioned in my first post - and the DIAC say not to use them with online applications as it may delay proceedings. I can't see how myself though? Why should it make a difference as they are sent rather than uploaded anyway! Forms 26EH and EH can only be downloaded as part of an online application. These forms will have the applicant's name, date of birth and address pre-printed.
This is probably a computer problem your end, I assume you are using Internet Explorer? Have you checked to make sure that your browser is allowing pop ups and that cookies are enabled for this particular website or you could try downloading the files you need using another web browser such as Firefox or Chrome google em' Although we tried it on a PC, also IE and it failed there too.
It will not make any difference if you are using a mac or pc, do you have access to a 2nd computer? Maybe you could try downloading from a different pc and burn the files to a CD or memory card Sorry just read your whole post about the 2nd pc, if it is not working on the 2nd pc either then there may be a problem their end after all, try it with another browser and if you are still having problems email whoever you are dealing with and explain the problem I have had a similar prob.
I managed to get my own forms downloaded and have had my medicals etc but my partner that is also to be included in my application has not even got a link or message to get his forms.
I've e-mailed immigration in oz and here. Could you post some info if in the end you managed to download the forms and if so what kind of magic is needed.

Other costs You should also be prepared to pay other costs associated with your application, such as those required to obtain a character clearance see page 35 from authorities in your country, and the cost of certified translations of some documents.
Pass mark and pool mark You must gain sufficient points to reach the pass mark for the visa you have applied for. If the pass mark is lowered at any time in that 2 year period, and your score is equal to, or higher than, the new pass mark, your case will be processed further. For options if you do not meet the pass mark see page Self-assessment Complete the Self-assessment form as you go through the rest of this section.
This will give you an indication of how successful your application might be. If you have a partner, it may be worthwhile to also obtain a skills and English language assessment for your partner to see whose application may have the best chance of success. When making your assessment remember that either you or your partner must meet the pass mark individually.
Self-assessment form Complete this form as you go through the rest of this section It will give you an indication of how successful your application might be. Note: A self-assessment should not be seen as a guarantee of success.
Your actual application will be rigorously assessed on the information and evidence you provide, using the pass mark which applies at the time of lodgement. The occupation you nominate must be on the Skilled Occupation List current at the time you apply see form i , and should be one which fits your skills and qualifications. In most cases, you must have a qualification such as a degree or trade certificate and experience which meets the relevant Australian standards and which is specifically related to your nominated occupation and be able to meet any registration requirements in Australia.
In some cases, experience without formal qualifications may be acceptable. You must have a qualification equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree or higher qualification but it need not be specifically related to your nominated occupation.
You must have a qualification equivalent to an Australian diploma or advanced diploma but it need not be specifically related to your nominated occupation. They are not necessary for your self-assessment but are important steps to take before completing your application form.
Before you lodge your application 1. Before you apply, you must have your skills assessed by the relevant assessing authority as suitable for your nominated occupation. Form i tells you what you have to do. You cannot lodge a valid application unless you include a skills assessment issued by the Australian assessing authority for your nominated occupation.

You are only able to claim points for this level if you have applied for the Skilled — Regional Sponsored visa and you are sponsored by an eligible relative or a participating state or territory.
Before you lodge your application You need to ensure you are able to provide evidence of your English language ability. IELTS has an academic test and a general training test — unless you are required to do otherwise by your assessing authority you only need to take the general training test.
What you will need to submit as evidence of your English language ability depends on the number of points you would like to be awarded for this skill. Test results must be no more than 2 years old at the time you apply.
This is different to recent work experience see page 8 which is a basic requirement for the General Skilled Migration categories.
Points If your nominated occupation is worth 60 points and you have worked in your nominated occupation or a closely related occupation at a skilled level for at least 3 of the 4 years immediately before you apply. If your nominated occupation is worth 40, 50 or 60 points, and you have worked in skilled employment any occupations listed on the Skilled Occupation List, see form i for at least 3 of the 4 years immediately before you apply.
Note: If you are using employment undertaken in Australia to meet this requirement, that work must have been undertaken while you were the holder of a visa authorising you to work. Obtain evidence such as employment references and detailed duty statements covering the required period. These documents may also be required in order to satisfy the recent work experience basic requirement. For you to receive these points, documentary evidence should be included with your application.
Points can be awarded if you have a total of 12 months skilled work experience gained in Australia within the 48 months immediately before lodging your application. The visa you held over this period must have been one that allowed you to work.

You may receive points for one of the following Australian qualifications that was completed whilst present in Australia and where all the instruction was in English:. Points You have completed an Australian doctorate at an Australian educational institution after a period of at least 2 years full-time 2 academic years while in Australia.
OR You have completed an Australian Masters or Honours degree at least upper second class level after a period of at least 1 year full time study at an Australian educational institution while physically present in Australia, and you were also awarded an Australian bachelor degree as a result of at least 1 year full-time study while physically present in Australia, and the total period of full-time study in Australia was at least 3 academic years.

OR You have completed an Australian degree, diploma or trade qualification while in Australia, and you have studied full-time in Australia for a total of at least 2 years 2 academic years towards the award of a degree, diploma or trade qualification. You do not need to meet the recent work experience requirement if you have completed your Australian qualification less than 6 months before lodging your migration application see page 7, Basic requirements.
If you intend taking advantage of this concession you should note that the 6 month period begins from the date of completion of the qualification, and not from the date the qualification was conferred. If your nominated occupation is on the MODL when you lodge your application or when your application is assessed you will be awarded points see table below. The MODL is updated regularly with occupations added to or removed from this list.
Before you lodge your application To receive extra points for a job offer, documentary evidence of the job offer should be included with your application. The organisation making the job offer must also indicate the number of people it has employed on a full-time basis for the previous 2 years.
Please note that the department will check to ensure this information is correct. The language must be on the list of designated languages below. NAATI can provide tests in a wide range of languages both within Australia and at many overseas locations.
Bonus points will need to be based on tertiary qualifications as specified above. Before you lodge your application To receive these points, you must include with your application a copy of your degree, academic transcript, and a letter from the university stating the language in which your course was conducted, or evidence of your NAATI accreditation.
If you are claiming points for an Australian qualification you can also claim points if you lived and studied in a regional or low population growth metropolitan area of Australia for at least 2 academic years. Points are only available if your partner is included in your application as an applicant. Points are not available if your partner is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or Eligible New Zealand citizen.
Your partner should provide a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority at the time of application. You will be awarded points if you have applied for a Skilled — Regional Sponsored visa subclass or and have been sponsored by an eligible relative living in a Designated Area. Health Strict health standards You and all dependent family members must meet strict health standards designed to protect Australia from high health risks and costs, and overuse of scarce health resources such as organs for transplant.
Health examination You will be asked to undertake an examination by a doctor, selected by Australian authorities. Usually, a chest x-ray, medical examination, some laboratory or specialist tests and referral to Medical Officers of the Commonwealth for final decision will be required. This can be a lengthy process and the costs will be your responsibility.
All members of your immediate family must meet the standards for your application to be successful. Dependants who are not planning to migrate must also be examined. Forms for your medical examination, together with directions to listed doctors, will be provided by staff processing your migration application. If you are pregnant, you are advised not to be x-rayed until after the birth of your baby, meaning that your application may not be finished until then.
Alternatively, although not preferred by the Australian Government, you may care to discuss with your radiologist the use of a lead shielded x-ray. Australia has one of the lowest rates of tuberculosis in the world and maintains one of the strictest regimes for screening and treatment.
Detection of the disease will not lead to automatic rejection, but your application may only continue after recommended treatment and successful retesting. Other health conditions of concern are those where a person is assessed by Australian authorities as requiring treatment, support or assistance which are considered to be in short supply, or which cost a significant amount. This may differ from treatment in your country.
The department is authorised to collect information under the Migration Act A positive HIV or other test result will not necessarily lead to a visa being denied. Your result s may be disclosed to the relevant Commonwealth, state and territory health agencies.
Doctors Doctors may charge you in accordance with their usual practice. They may recommend that you undertake other treatment or specialist consultations.
This may be in your own interest because listed doctors know what is required for the assessment of your examination results in Australia. Listed doctors complete the examination form in English. Basis for decision A decision is made on, first, any detection of tuberculosis, however old or small, and then, of medical conditions which are likely to result in significant health treatment and community service costs in Australia, or which may use treatment or services in short supply.
Some allowance is made for normal health and welfare costs calculated as a multiple of average annual costs for an Australian. The cost assessment takes no regard of whether a person has or intends to take private health insurance or make other financial or nursing arrangements to lessen the claim on public funds. Character To enter Australia, applicants must be of good character.
In order for the Australian Government to determine whether you are of good character, you may be asked to provide police certificates for each country you have resided in for 12 months or more over the last 10 years, including Australia. The department is unable to accelerate this process. In some instances, applicants may also be required to provide personal details to enable additional character checks to be undertaken.
Please compete and include with your application, a form 80 Personal particulars for character assessment for each applicant aged 16 years or over included in your application. Applicants who lodge complete applications receive faster processing. Dependants Your application may cover a family unit; a primary applicant and, if applicable a partner and dependants.
You will need to provide a certified copy of the overseas or Australian court order which you have in relation to the child. A child of any age is not considered dependent if he or she is married or in a de facto relationship or is engaged to be married.
A child aged 18 years or over will not be considered dependent unless you can show that they are wholly or substantially reliant on you for financial support for their basic needs of food, shelter and clothing. You must also show that you have provided that support for a substantial period and that the child is more reliant on you than on any other person or source.
Unless you can provide evidence of this, they should apply separately. You should also be aware that a child aged 25 years or over will generally not be considered dependent.
Children of any age who have a total or partial loss of bodily or mental functions which stops them earning a living are regarded as dependent and part of the family unit whether or not they migrate with you.
Give details of such children and whether they are in your care or in an institution. Other dependants You may include other relatives in your application if they are wholly or substantially reliant on you for financial support for their basic needs of food, shelter and clothing and they have been reliant on you for that support for a substantial period. They must also be more reliant on you for support than on any other person or source. A relative may also be considered dependent on you if they are reliant on you for financial support because they have a mental or physical disability which stops them from earning a living to support themselves.
Other relatives dependent on you or your partner may include, for example, an aged, unmarried relative. If you have dependants who are aged 18 years or over, please obtain a form 47A Details of child or other dependent family member aged 18 years or over.
A form 47A must be completed for each dependant aged 18 years or over, whether migrating or not. The dependant may need to provide supporting documents.
Processing visa applications Part 6 explains how to make visa applications and how they are processed. Once you have lodged an application for a General Skilled Migration visa, enquiries about the progress of your application should be directed to the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre — see contact information under Where to apply on the following page.
It is important that you read this information Please read this information — it may affect whether you are granted a visa or whether a visa you are granted may subsequently be cancelled. You should read all information and instructions about the category of visa you want to apply for and make sure you provide the right information and documents when applying.
This will avoid delays in processing your application. If you do not think you qualify for a visa, you may wish to reconsider whether to apply because visa charges paid are not usually refunded if you are unsuccessful. While you may be asked to complete a number of steps during the processing of your application, it does not mean your application will be successful. Do not anticipate a successful outcome and sell your house or other property until you have been advised in writing that you have been granted a visa.
You must have a visa to travel to and stay in Australia The Australian Government decides who should be granted a visa. Your application will be decided on the basis of the information you give and generally, the law at the time you apply.

Note: You must include both a certified copy of the original language document and a certified copy of the translated document with your application. Passport details During the processing of your application you and all family members included in the application will need to satisfy identity requirements. The standard method for this is by using a current passport. The passport should be the passport you will use to travel to Australia if a visa is granted and should be valid for an adequate period it is recommended this be at least 2 years.

You will need to provide the department with a copy of the personal particulars page of the passport s and of any stamps or authorisations that amend these details such as passport validity extensions. If you or any family member, do not currently hold a passport, or need to extend or renew a passport, please do so now and provide copies of the relevant pages.
Family members For most General Skilled Migration visas, family members partners, dependent children or dependent relatives who apply at the same time can apply on the same form and pay one charge. In some circumstances, a partner or dependent child can be added to an application. Members of your family unit included in your application must also meet certain visa requirements. In these cases the department can provide you with information about which visas, if any, you can apply for.
More than one application If you apply for more than one visa, the visa granted last will generally be the visa in effect, and the visa granted first will no longer be valid. You can get advice about your situation from any office of the department in Australia or overseas. If you are in Australia you can call Communicating with the department Communication with the department about your application should generally be in writing.

Communication about your application can be sent to another person that you have authorised, but it will be taken that you have received the communication that the department sends to that person.
You must inform the department in writing of any change of address for either you or your authorised person. If you have provided a fax number or e-mail address the department may use these to communicate with you. If you change your fax number or e-mail address you must inform the department. In addition to the above requirement if you are participating in the skill matching scheme, and any of your contact details change you must advise the ASPC so your entry on the Skill Matching Database can be updated.
Extra information about your application Additional information can be provided in writing at any time until a decision is made on your application. All relevant information is taken into account.
