Vikki81 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 My parents are planning to visit Australia from a non RHCA country. We applied for a visitor visa for both and my mother just received her visa but my father has diabetes and was told he needs to have a medical examination. What is the examination for? Can he be rejected because he has diabetes ? Is there a way I can take all responsibility for him financially to come? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I assume it's because he's a higher risk of needing medical attention while in Australia. If he were rushed to hospital, they'd treat him and then need to worry about recovering their costs from any travel insurance, etc. Diabetics successfully get visas, so hopefully it's not an issue but it will probably depend on how well his condition is managed.
