The question should relate to dependant family members and if you claim someone is dependant they are required to undergo health/character checks regardless of whether they would be migrating or not.

As soon as the DIBP reopens you need to contact them immediately and explain the situation. It's likely that you'll be permitted to claim an error and have the response changed to 'no' and everything would be resolved, but you will have to drive this forward.

No problem at all.

Sometimes there's a clarification in the question mark button next to the particular section. If its not there I would imagine they'll change it shortly. Worth noting that to the DIBP when you contact them.

All the best,

So annoying....we applied on December 24th and we have been worried sick but we can't call them until Monday.....to top it off we reached our "60 file maximum" and can't load any more documents!!! All the things it asks you to upload seem to overlap with one another too....so confused....our application probably looks like a mess. If I had my time again I would have for sure sent it by post!

You really shouldn't need to upload 60 documents. You could run into an issue should you need to upload anything else, I would suggest mentioning this when you have a case officer.

Yeah the suggested document list in the upload system isn't exactly user friendly, but don't feel like you have to follow it to the letter. The evidence itself is important, not the name it's uploaded as.

Scotster/Rhirhi,

There's no way it will cause any issue with your application so no need to worry about that, it just needs to be addressed.

All the best to you both,

A minor child would class as a dependant, even if not migrating, and they would need to undergo a medical.

Scotster - Save yourself the hassle and the large cost mate. Now it's online certified documents are not required. Just upload colour copies of the original documents.
