petersloan Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Our situation is this, We have three young kids. Our little girl is 5 and she has scoliosis which is a slight curve of the spine. She wears a plaster vest 24 hrs a day and this is changed every 4 months or so as she grows. If it works she will need a single operation when she is a teenager to prevent further curvature. We have two boys 4 & 3 who are diagnosed ASD. Both are mild/ moderate but will require specialist education in their primary years at least. We don't want to go through the whole process only to fall short on the medical. Has anyone had their medicals done first before putting a lot of money into the process? I've contacted an agent regarding info but to be honest most just quote costs for eligibility etc etc and all we want is to know whether the medicals can be done first? Any help is much appreciated and apologies but my "enter" button doesn't appear to be working :wacko::biggrin: Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 No, not unless you are in Australia, or have applied for a visa. The dr doing the medical in the uk couldn't even tell you for sure if she would pass as they will send the file to Sydney for their drs to look at and work out proposed costs to Australia. There are a couple of agents who deal with medical issues. One of which is George Lombard. I can't remember off hand the other. They would be the best people to ask. It will cost you money, but then so would taking the medical... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 George Lombard seems to have a great reputation, I would have a chat to him before you spend any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
