Thankyou! Luckily my gf has a european passport too so that is one less thing for us to worry about.

Hi all, I am a british guy (25 yo) with an australian gf both living in London and we are thinking of going for the de facto visa soon so we can live in Perth, we will meet all requirements by the time we apply as we have lived together for over 12 months, holidays together, photos, etc etc. Now what is worrying me is that I have Polycystic kidney disease I was born with (diagnosed in 2013) however I am healthy and my kidneys havnt worsened yet as my eGFR is still around >90, I just have to take a blood pressure tablet every night and see a specialist once every 12 months for a blood test and just generally keep active and eat well. My mum has had a kidney transplant 2 years ago because of this disease (aged 48) - BUT she only got diagnosed in 2013 too so obviously it was too late to try and control it. So I am stressing about it because we both rent together in London which is very expensive and I know she would like to return to oz at some point so here I am. Could someone tell me without beating around the bush am I likely to get a visa refusal because of my condition? What options do I have? Also; if the worst case scenario happens that my kidneys suddenly worsen into stage 2 of chronic kidney disease would this get me refused? I think it is also worth mentioning that I am a qualified electrician and currently work in a specialized industry that is also a skills shortage in Australia and I think this would strengthen my application. I very much appreciate you reading.
