Thank you, Yes it seems if this question is included in a premedical then we will have to disclose our concerns. As his father is a New Zealand citizen, my child is on a NZ scv (temp visa). This would mean that he can stay in Aus indefinitely and will be granted citizenship when turns 10. However without PR he is not entitled to support should he end up with an ASD diagnosis.

Thank you Gaia, This sounds really promising. Do you remember if the doctor asks the parents general questions about the health of the children? I guess I am thinking that if they ask if he is showing any signs of developmental delay or not hitting general milestones then we would be obliged to tell them about the speech therapy.

Because he was born here. If a child is born in Australia and lives here for 10 years the child becomes an Australian citizen on their 10th birthday.

Thank you Quoll, We certainly won’t lie if they ask any specific questions, we just didn’t plan on volunteering any information that may potentially cause refusal, especially as he has not had an official diagnosis. I guess we are just frustrated that our son will be given citizenship when he turns 10 as he was born here. Yet he may be refused PR now.

I was wondering if anyone can advise what tests are carried out on children under 5 at the medical? I have a 2.5 year old who was born in Australia and is showing signs of developmental delay ( not socialising or responding to name, no words). He sees a speech therapist but we are holding out getting him assessed for ASD until we apply for PR. Our GP and paediatrician has advised just not to volunteer any information and to just bring along an iPad for him and say he’s shy. Just wondering what specifically the doctor will do or questions they ask and if it’s likely to be flagged? It’s such a huge cost to be rejected. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
