Health Condition

[ClaireRussell]

Hello, we are a family of four who are considering applying for 189 visa. However I am the main applicant and was born with a kidney condition and I have a daughter who was born with a different health condition. Now my intention is to contact George Lombard once I have the necessary medical reports from our specialists. However I am wondering if anyone has had a visa granted where there has been more than one person included who has a health condition. 

Thanks for taking the time to read the above.

We have a couple of friends who migrated here on a 189, both of whom were born with health conditions.  They went with an agent (don't know who) and were successful, in spite of thinking they would have cost a fortune on medicare (so, just because we presume, doesn't mean we're always right).

Best of luck with your application.  No doubt that George will give you a solid steer.

Hi, both my son and I had had renal investigations (no treatment).  When I went for the medicals I was told that what they were interested in (and to provide the evidence for) was:

• Illness/Condition - what it was and how long
• Treatment or investigations
• Prognosis 

I provided copies of consultant letters for both myself and my son which addressed these points.  When they're assessing the medicals they're looking at potential cost - if e.g. your condition doesn't effect you, you work, are unlikely to need costly treatment in the long term and the prognosis is good it might not be a concern.  Do have a chat to George or @Richard Gregan  Because we submitted evidence of medical conditions, our medicals were 'referred' - I believe this just means that they're looked at more closely by medical personnel - and we weren't asked for any additional information.

Thank you for responding. Glad to hear others have managed to get their visas. Thanks

Fantastic news you and your son got your visas. Although think my health condition and my daughter's sounds a bit more complicated but will speak to the migration agent and see. Did you use  Richard Gregan for your visa? Thanks
