    Default Medical Report date different from Lodgement date? Please help!

    Dear all,
    I've met a weird situation. My ITA lodgement date is 19th Dec., 2012, however, today, when I log into my account, I've found my Medical Report received date is 9th Jan., 2013. I didn't noticed the disagreement before.
    Anyone met with simillair case? Does it mean my medical report has been referred to the Medical Assessment center without any notification to my either by email or by phone? There is something abnormal found in my medical report and we took the further examination in the pannel hospital approved in advance to save some time.
    All the best,
    GJMFL.

    This is a question that crops up quite often. Don't worry. The change in the date for the medical doesn't mean ANYTHING. For no reason that has ever been explained, it appears that any time somebody from INZ accesses a case on the computer, even for nothing about medical matters, the date for the medical lodgement changes.

    Is there a chance there might be a potential CO is starting checking my application?
    Sounds like an initial assessment secretly?
    Thanks for your advice.

    Somebody LOOKED. I don't know what they're doing. But your case is lodged, and all sorts of things will happen to it without INZ telling you about every phase. There's nothing secret about it. They don't inform every applicant of every turn of a page, because if they did, they wouldn't have time to do the actual work.

    This happened to me. I also noticed the change in date of lodgement for my medicals. There is no need to worry about ( i guess). These means that you medicals has been referred to MA and are worked upon. In my case once there was a date change for my medicals then after couple of weeks my CO asked for some more medical tests to be done and send the reports back to him. So if they found any abnormality in you medical tests they will let you know. otherwise your medicals will be approved.

    Hi Vishy,
    I hope everything goes well with your application.
    Did you actually experienced the process as you described in the medical report referal?
    Did you know you have got an CO before you found your medical report date changed?
    I haven't been informed whether there is a CO is handling my application yet.
    There is an saying that applicant will be informed by email when their medical report is referred to Medical assessment. I doubt it now.
    All the best,
    GJMFL.

    yeah.. i was well aware that CO had been assigned to my application. I lodged my application on 30 Oct 2012 (same date reflected against my medicals) and on 7th Nov 2012 i received an email from my CO stating he is taking care of my application. On 29th Nov 2012 medicals date changed and in mid dec i got an email from my CO to under go further medical tests and send back the reports for the same.
    Haven't been i required to under go few more medical tests, i would have never been able to know that my medicals has been referred to MA. So, i think CO may or may not inform you about the progress of your application.

    Excuse me, Vishy, but no, it doesn't, not in general. It so happens that after this changed, YOUR medical got referred, but for many people, the date changes and their medical is not referred at all.

    If your medical is referred to the MA, you most certainly ARE informed by someone from INZ, whether it's your CO or another official. They have to do this - you are quite likely to have to provide more information, so you have to be prepared to do the necessary to get this information from a doctor or specialist.
