RavenBlue Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi, we are in the process of applying for a 189 visa. I was super keen and got our medicals done before being invited to apply (I know many would advise against this, but to me its not the end of the world if they expire and we have to redo them). They came back all clear, but since having them done I have been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid. (Not sure whether is something they would have tested for in the medicals?) I assume its quite a recent onset and doesn't affect me massively. I've been put on some very low dose medication and I will be seeing a specialist next week to find out more. Should I make this known in my visa application? I'm hoping it won't affect my application as its nothing major. What can I do to assure DIBP that its ok - I've seen something about getting a letter from the doctor? Anybody else been in this situation? Would appreciate any advice or reassuring words! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Technically, you should declare any health condition. Your doctor could write a letter - what they're interested in is: What the condition is, any tests/treatment and prognosis. It's easily treatable and won't be a drain on the Australian health care system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenBlue Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 OK thanks @ali - I'll ask my doctor, and see what he can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
