Getting a medical in Sydney for a permanent resident visa (spouse sponsorship)

I'm trying to arrange a medical in Sydney for a permanent resident visa (spouse sponsorship).

The visa application guidelines state that as from 1st November 2012, I don't need to bring a form to the medical, and that the practitioner will supply a form IMM 1017, which should be submitted with my application. However, the practitioner in Sydney (Medibank) is insisting that they can't provide an IMM 1017. They also say that I need to bring a completed from with me, which will be supplied by the visa office _after_ I submit my application.

Does anybody have any experience with medicals in Sydney or with Medibank? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

You could try posting your question in the family class forum - there are a couple of Sydney specific threads, plus others who may be going through the same problem in other countries. This one doesn't get much attention.

Good luck.
