Requirements for obtaining working holiday visa

[pamoc]

I wonder if anyone can help! I am in the process of getting my working holiday visa for Australia. I intend to apply for temporary registration as a physio in Oz and have been told by the visa company to arrange a referral to a radiologist for a chest xray through a panel doctor. I understood that all i required was this xray for temp reg as a physio but this doctor is trying to tell me that i need a full medical which costs another £120 plus £25 x 3 for bloods and plus the £55 for xray?!!!! He reckons we come under the same umberella as nurses? I have contacted visa place again and the Australian high commission and neither have given me a straight yes or no. Visa company said that the doctor should be able to direct me on what i need. Any of my friends that have worked in Oz have only had to submit xray....have the requirements changed?
Please help!!!!!!!!!

Hi :

For a person going to travel and have visa besides to other paper-work ,it is natural that you have reviewed and read well Australian immigration service websites . I have come across that here you are

Health requirements
All applicants are required to meet health criteria. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to undertake a medical examination, which may include a chest x-ray, HIV, Hepatitis B and/or Hepatitis C tests.

All required health examinations must be completed before a decision can be made on your visa application.

If you need a medical examination, the cost is not included in the visa application charge (fee) you pay when you lodge your application.

Health examination requirements are outlined on Form 1163i.
See: Health Requirements

Note: If you are applying from in or outside Australia, the required health examinations are outlined under the heading 'Stay of greater than 3 months, up to and including 12 months'.*

*Trial health arrangements were introduced in May 2008 for people applying for a second Working Holiday visa. Under this trial arrangement, the health examinations that you are required to undertake are assessed in the same way as if you were applying for the first Working Holiday visa (that is: on the basis of a stay for up to 12 months).

If you lodge your second Working Holiday visa application online, you will receive health advice from the eVisa system. Please disregard this message as the department will advise you within 48 hours of the health examinations required under this trial arrangement to ensure that you do not undertake any unnecessary examinations.

Here you are the link

but tell me have your qualiification been assessed by AECOP authorities for recoginition ?
