My bags and supplies are covered by a military exemption cert so should not be any kind of burden.
If anyone has any info on this subject I would be extremely grateful.

Hi Tim,
I may be able to help as i have an iileostomy since i was 17 years old and have had my medicals of which went fine, i have applied for a 457 visa as i have been sponsored by Nurseworldwide as a care officer/disability worker , i have done this job for about 9 years now. My immigration person who has lodged and helped me with my forms said she is 99% certain it will go through as i have put on the visa forms that my stoma medical goods will be self funded and at no cost to others which is what my immigration lady for Nurseworldwide told me to put as i will be funding it myself. It will cost me roughly £66 per month for all my stuff and i have contact details for the convatec place in Oz where they supply the goods where you can pay yourself. I really hope this helps and feel free to ask me anything at all, our visa is due any day now :D
