Epilepsy concerns.

Hi everyone.

My son is 12 and has suffered with a mild form of epilepsy called partial seizure disorder for the last 9 months or so.

He's under a consultant who we see every 4 - 6 weeks. The medication, that he's been on since we first became aware of his illness, controls the symptoms and we've been told that theres a very good chance that he'll either grow out of it or will live with it under control and should therefore lead a full and normal life.

I'm worried that we'll only find out if his illness will be problematic to our visa application late on. Both my children (I also have a 16 year old daughter) are so excited about the possibility of living in Oz, that it'll break everyone hearts if the visa falls flat on its a##e

I know there's quite a few members on here with medical backgrounds and would really appreciate it if anyone could give me any information

Dan
