Hi Kate & Tom

There are some further developments which are highly significant for anybody concerned with possible migration to Oz with a Down Syndrome child in particular but also with a range of other problems.

Please see this thread on the Go Matilda forum.

This thread is relevant as well:

Doctor to fight visa refusal over Down Syndrome son - Topic Powered by eve community

Alan Collett of Go Matilda is obviously taking an interest in this issue and lobbying by people like Alan can and does help to get the law changed sometimes.

I think it is an immense comfort that the Minister realises that something needs to be done about these cases and that leaving families in turmoil for six years is absolutely not on.

Best wishes

Gill
