IrishStoma

Hi all, Thanks for your replies. I would only really be moving over temporarily so 2/3 years maximum most likely! It seems that it may not be too much of an issue! Appreciate the help.

Hi all, I’ve been thinking about moving to Australia from Ireland sometime at the beginning of next year on a working holiday visa. My only concern is that I have ulcerative colitis and as a result of that, an end ileostomy. Despite having both of these, I am in good health overall. Since having the subtotal colectomy in September 2021 I have had no heath issues or hospital trips and the only thing I require is my prescriptions for the stoma supplies. I was wondering if this will be an issue when applying for a visa and what the options are for obtaining stoma supplies in Australia. I currently pay €80 a month on them now and would be happy to continue paying. Thanks for your help.
