Wait after pre employment medical

Post-interview

​TL;DR: Passed the final checks for a casual hospital support job. Curious to know the typical wait time for the final contract/start date—is a 1-2 week wait standard? ​Context ​I recently successfully interviewed for a Casual Support Services/Orderly position at a major public hospital (via a contractor). I have completed all the required pre-employment compliance steps, including: ​Passed the physical/functional medical assessment. ​Submitted all mandatory security clearance (Police Checks). ​All required immunisation evidence submitted. ​References processed (XREF). ​I am now waiting for the final word from HR/Recruitment regarding the official contract and induction date. ​Question ​For anyone who has worked in hospital support services or for facility management contractors in Australia (e.g., in SA Health, NSW Health, etc.): What is the typical/average waiting time for the final contract to be issued after the HR department confirms they have received the clearance from Medical and Security? ​Should I assume 5-10 business days is standard for this final onboarding stage?
