Hi, both my son and I had had renal investigations (no treatment).  When I went for the medicals I was told that what they were interested in (and to provide the evidence for) was:

• Illness/Condition - what it was and how long
• Treatment or investigations
• Prognosis 

I provided copies of consultant letters for both myself and my son which addressed these points.  When they're assessing the medicals they're looking at potential cost - if e.g. your condition doesn't effect you, you work, are unlikely to need costly treatment in the long term and the prognosis is good it might not be a concern.  Do have a chat to George or @Richard Gregan  Because we submitted evidence of medical conditions, our medicals were 'referred' - I believe this just means that they're looked at more closely by medical personnel - and we weren't asked for any additional information.

Fantastic news you and your son got your visas. Although think my health condition and my daughter's sounds a bit more complicated but will speak to the migration agent and see. Did you use  Richard Gregan for your visa? Thanks

We have a couple of friends who migrated here on a 189, both of whom were born with health conditions.  They went with an agent (don't know who) and were successful, in spite of thinking they would have cost a fortune on medicare (so, just because we presume, doesn't mean we're always right).

Best of luck with your application.  No doubt that George will give you a solid steer.

Thank you for responding. Glad to hear others have managed to get their visas. Thanks

Hello, we are a family of four who are considering applying for 189 visa. However I am the main applicant and was born with a kidney condition and I have a daughter who was born with a different health condition. Now my intention is to contact George Lombard once I have the necessary medical reports from our specialists. However I am wondering if anyone has had a visa granted where there has been more than one person included who has a health condition. 

Thanks for taking the time to read the above.
