    Presumably your potential employer has a Registered Migration Agent involved in this process who can give you some guidance. As you say, health criteria vary by visa type and you haven't specified which visa you are looking at. 

    I'd imagine they do, but I won't find out until next week so at the moment it's all been my own research. The rules aren't particularly straightforward so hoping I can speak to someone who will clear some of it up. Like I said, a positive store to provide some hope would settle my nerves over the weekend.

    ...however, you will be paying the same taxes as someone else who doesn't have an expensive health condition.

    If you were the only person able to do that particular job, then yes, you're bringing an extra economic benefit and that should be taken into account.  However the fact is that in most cases, there are hundreds of migrants eager to move to Oz and they can afford to pick the ones that will cost them the least.  

    Yeah I can appreciate that, but in my case it's a pretty niche job for which demand outstrips supply. Otherwise the company wouldn't be putting me forward for a Visa. I think on of the stipulations is that they have to demonstrate why they can't hide into the position from the domestic talent pool right? They're under a bit of time pressure and so want to try some different ways of pushing me through but obviously I understand there's a possibility I get rejected so trying to find any case at all to give me some hope and share some experience.

  3. Has anyone had a positive visa application while being treated with Infliximab recently? My UC is well controlled and I have a job offer for Sydney, working my way through the visa practicalities now and it's just hit me that I have quite a high chance of rejection. It seems crazy that they don't cost the economic benefit I'd bring until any potential waiver (which I'm not even sure my Visa type will have). I'll be paying heaps more in taxes than the cost of my medication per year.
