Blood tests, audiograms and ECGs should ideally be carried out prior to your appointment, but can be ordered at the time of your medical examination – this will however add a couple of days to the time it will take for the medical to be sent to CASA. Please ring 9749-6777 to arrange for blood tests and ECGs to be ordered and to arrange a time to pick up the relevant requests.
