reutmark Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I know one has to go through a medical as one condition of being accepted to emigrate. A friend of mine had some depression treatment 5 years ago in terms of counselling and medication and after a 5 year clear period he is currently having some more counselling etc. Both episodes are around work related stress. If he wanted to emigrate and at the time of applying he was still undergoing treatment or say he had completed treatment some year or so in the past prior to his application then would this bar him from moving to Australia in terms of his application being turned down on medical grounds due to mental health? He is not violent at all and it is just treatment for low mood/depression.....although he did make 2 "cry for help" attempts on his life 5 years ago with pills ...but not serious attempts ...more a cry for help.... He has not yet submitted an application to emigrate and would not be doing so for at least another 1 to 2 years so impossiblt to say at that stage if he will still be having his current treatment. Or are the authorities more concerned with physical conditions like cancer etc? If he declares everything on his forms honestly is he likely to not be barred on mental health grounds? Thanks for replies on this difficult and sensitive matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
