For those wanting to know the prices in Victoria, I just went to Toorak Village Medical Centre yesterday for my medical. It cost me a total of $655 which included a tetanus shot. You had to pay a $75 deposit when you book also.

Meant to come back here earlier and comment but i've been so busy since my interview!
 
Had my interview last week at the Sydney Consulate. I was the very first one of the day and was Approved! I was in and out within an hour   Just waiting for my passport to come back and then I can start organizing my flights!
 
Thanks so much to everyone here, its been great to have my questions answered without having to call NVC everytime! Good luck to those still waiting for an interview date! It'll come soon

Well I finally have my answer as to why we hadn't received and interview date and the rest of the family had. 

Basically, back at the end of March we were asked to provide a Joint Sponsor, more Proof of Domicile and Proof of Employment. We were in the process of gathering and uploading all of these documents when all our documents got approved (on 20 April). I was confused as to what this meant, so I called up NVC and spoke to them and confirmed that this meant we did NOT need to upload anything further, and that all we needed to do was sit back and wait for an interview to be scheduled. I confirmed this multiple times with them on the phone. So we were waiting, trying to be patient when two other family members got their interviews scheduled, my Father in Law only a week after getting CC. I had emailed them after this and was querying why our interview date hadn't been scheduled yet, after waiting a month (yet to receive a response to that email too).
 
Now, overnight we got a status update email. They asked for Proof of Employment again. I know there have been glitches with other cases so I called them again (over an hour on hold). Asked whether it was a glitch and whether we would still be on track for an interview. She said Oh no, we are waiting for the extra documents we asked for, including proof of employment and a joint sponsor (i had uploaded the proof of domicile already). I asked her then why I was told that all my documents had been accepted and I would be getting the interview scheduled. She said Oh I have no idea, but said thats the wrong information. 
 
So yep, we've been waiting over a month and a half for something that was never going to happen, because we were told the wrong information and we should have been told to still upload the documents. So now we are delayed by another month - she said it will take at least 3 weeks to review the documents and then who knows how long to schedule the interview. When our family is more than a month ahead in the process than us. Very upset and frustrated at NVC right now, it means that we won't be able to leave with our family.
 
PS sorry its so long, you kinda need the back story to understand it all...
