While checking out the supporting documents list in my Immi Account, I found a button that says "Get Health Details". I clicked it and I was directed to a series of health questions. It then generated my HAP ID and letter. Thinking this must be how the medical procedure goes, I took the letter to an accredited clinic and did the medicals. Now, my immi account has updated and says this:

Health requirement - examinations in progress
A panel clinic is currently processing this person's health examination(s) in eMedical. This screen will be updated once they have submitted this person's case to the department for processing. This may not occur until all results are finalised after the person has left the clinic. Ongoing delays should be followed up with the clinic in relation to the progress of your health examination results. Do not contact the department about this matter.

BUT THEN,

I found this statement pertaining to "My Health Declarations":

If you have already lodged a visa application, you should not use this service. Please wait until your case officer asks you to complete your health examinations and provides you with a HAP ID, or you will delay the processing of your visa application.

Is My Health Declarations different from the Get Health Details button I clicked in my immi account? Has anyone tried generating a HAP ID using that button in your immi account?

Reading about this, I preempted the CO's request for medical, which may mess up my application :'(

I haven't heard from a CO since submitting my PMV last September.

Please help! My fiance and I are so worried and we don't know who to call.

Hi. As I understand it, it shouldn't be an issue that you've already completed your medicals. However they are only good for a year so if your visa takes longer you may need to do it again. This is just from what I've read. I'm no expert. Good luck!

It shouldn't be a problem the only problem is as has already been said that the medicals are only good for 12 months. I know of a couple of people who had to get them redone because they went over 12 months. The entry date for the visa is usually based on the police checks or the medicals (whichever will expire first).

Phew, thank you. I do hope it's not going to go over 12 months!

Sometimes case officers stretch a point.
