Travel Tips

Yes you will definitely have to pass a medical.Definitely, and the sooner you do it the better as it takes a while to be processed.
Yes, you have to pass a medical before the visa is issued. When the visa is issued, you have a year from the date of the medical to make your first entry into Australia.
Emigrated from the UK to Australia in 2006.
Yes, and the medical is very simple. Just a physical exam, an urine test, a chest X-ray and an HIV test (the last two for everyone over 15).

And like someone said, you have a year to enter Oz after the medicals are done.
