Hi sorry I know this is an old post but I am currently in Australia on a TSS 482 visa and my boyfriend is planning to come out from the UK on a Working Holiday Visa. He has epilepsy which mainly presents as focal seizures (visual symptoms) that he currently only gets a couple times a week and are well controlled on medication (keppra and lamotrigine). He hasn't had any generalised seizures in 2 years and they were when he wasn't on medication. He was planning on declaring it on his visa application and getting a letter from his neurologist saying that it is well controlled and he hasn't required hospital admissions or anything else that would cost the Australian government money! Also he was planning on getting year long worldwide travel insurance that covers his epilepsy as the reciprocal Medicare agreement does not seem to cover pre-existing conditions. Any tips or advice about the application process / medical / insurance would be much appreciated (it won't let me PM you for some reason).
