Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice regarding my 491 visa medical.

I lodged my 491 visa application about a year ago and completed my medical examination at the time. The medical has now expired, while my visa application is still showing as “Received.” I haven’t received any request from the Department to complete a new medical yet.

I’d like to proactively complete and upload a new medical to avoid any potential delays when my application is assessed. However, my previous HAP ID is no longer valid.

Could anyone please guide me on how I can obtain a new HAP ID and arrange a new medical for an already-lodged visa application? Is there a way to generate a new HAP ID through ImmiAccount, or do I need to wait for the Department to request a new medical?

Any advice from someone who has been in a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@gregormendel- Hi. I heard on the news yesterday that some works in Australia are not preferred to be done by Australians and so they need migrants to do that work and that's the reason they have been taking lots of migrants from a long time and current housing crisis and other factors have led to making some occupations priority and prioritize onshore to avoid more influx of migrants. Yesterday there was news that Pauline Hanson suggested to completely ban immigration from those 'not safe to travel ' countries which are around 23 red listed. It was told on the news that Albanese govt is considering the same but not sure. Is there any news about this becoming a reality immediately or soon?
