AnnieBrow Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Apologies if this is a question already asked..... My partner is Type 1 diabetic and I wanted to know if this is an issue when applying for a Permanent Resident visa? Also, the medication is currently free on the NHS. Does anyone know how much this will cost in Oz? Lastly, has anyone experienced better overall care in the UK or Oz with this condition? Many thanks in advance.

Cerberus1 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi Annie You can look up the cost of medication at http://www.pbs.gov.au/pbs/home (top right - PBS Medicine Search) @Richard Gregan (https://www.overseas-emigration.co.uk/) wrote an article for us at: It's worthwhile having a read.

Soffy999 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Would also be interested to know views on standard of care UK vs Aus. Husband is Australian, we are in UK, he is 3 years since Type 2 diagnosis but now started injecting basal insulin, we are likely to move to NSW in 2019. Very difficult for him getting consistent care here and navigating NHS with this very difficult, ever changing disease/condition, although obviously all treatment is free.

Alicia Kaye Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi - just wondering how you got on? Did you the visa? My partner type 1 and we are in WHV hoping for PR in 2 years xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieBrow Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hi Alicia, we haven’t applied for PR yet and are still in the UK. I’ve only found out that it doesn’t necessarily go against an application. I was worried the condition would be an automatic NO but it’s now. Are you going for PR skilled once your WHV ends or before? Do you or your partner have a job on the skilled list already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieBrow Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 That should say...but it’s not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieBrow Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Soffy999 - not convinced the care in the U.K. is amazing. Hoping Australia medical care is better x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Kaye Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hi, Annie! We are here in Australia on WHV visas currently both separate ones. We are hoping to go for PR some time late next year. We are going to apply before the WHV visa runs out as you have to have another visa lodged to be able to stay in Australia whilst the visa is processing as it can take some time. Still pretty in the dark as to whether we will be successful the GP has said controlled diabetes TP1 shouldn’t affect visa but we have the first appointment with endocrinologist next week hoping they may know a little more from their experience. If not we will go to an agent for advice! I’m a registered nurse so I have a job on the skilled list and my partner will be the dependent. As for the health care so far very good out here- only been here three weeks and already set up with NDSS referral made by gp to the hospital for consultant appointment and that’s happening next week! - the lifestyle is so different here the diabetes has been even more well managed since arriving!
