@lauralollipop2000: "Hi
Got my meds tomorrow, I have been told to bring with me forms 160 and
26, but I have got 160A and 26A, as we are in Australia and applying
while here, although we will have to go offshore in order to validate
the visas when granted.
It says on the 26a and 160a that these are for use in Australia, but the
man on the phone of HSA told me to bring with me forms 160 and 26???  I
am so confused now and cant call them now as closed???  Anyone know??

26A and 160A are right. If you are having them done in Melbourne, I hope
you have an early appointment time, it gets crazy after about 10 there
:) I was there just last week for the 2nd time since being here but
luckily I had an 8:30 appointment time.

There is alot of sitting around.
First you go through to see the nurse, then you are either sent out to
the waiting room again or you have your blood test straight away. Then
back to the waiting room and then in to see the doctor and then when you
are finished with them you go across the hall to another waiting room
for the X Ray :) It is all very drawn out and boring to be honest :) You
go through to see the nurse in 4s I think it is so you may have quite a
wait at this first stage depending on how many other people rock up at
the same time.

I had meds done about 10 months ago for a student visa. Am now applying
for a defacto visa and at the time of having meds done for a student
visa I was told that I could go back at a later date and have just the
blood test done. It turns out this was not the case so I had to pay to
have everything redone. If I had known I woulda had the blood test done
last year along with everything else but nevermind, at least I will
never have to go back again :)

Yes, if you need any extra tests done I believe they tell you on the day
so you can sort it out straight away.
Good luck tomorrow, you will see on the front of both forms there is a
spot for the doctor or radiologist to write in passport number, you will
be asked to write it in yourself tomorrow so might as well do it now :)
