The advice given originally is still correct. You need to speak to a good migration agent that has a speciality in visas with medical issues such as George Lombard 

The reason for joining this site was for some more solid advice and I appreciate those Sydney names.  Are they expensive to use just to get an answer my head probably knows the answer to?

Even if they have, it won't help you.  Each person is judged on their specific disease.  As you've read in the other posts, Immigration will look at how much you're going to cost the Australian taxpayer in whatever regular drugs you're taking, and also the cost of ongoing medical treatment, as well as the likelihood of further transplants or kidney failure in the future.   You may be on different drugs and have a different prognosis.

Being on the NHS, we're often not aware of how much our drugs and treatment are actually costing the government, so you may not realise just how much the bill would be. I found a research paper that says the average cost of care for a kidney transplant recipient is about $10,000 per annum and if that's true, then I'd be pessimistic.

Follow the advice given to the OP - consult one of the recommended agents who specialise in medical cases. They have dealt with many cases like yours..  

Actually her answer would be very helpful - in the 'just putting feelers out' part of the process.

I am post kidney transplant.  No two patients are the same but the treatment and cost is very very similar.  I am very aware of the costs etc etc.

Thanks for your reply though.

I am even more pessimistic about getting a reply from the OP as she seems to have only joined for this question.

Hi... I am in the same boat as the OP.

2+ years after the post... Did you ever get a definite answer?
