Jonno1981 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 My wife underwent a medical investigation into her heart in June 2012. She used to have occasionally palpitations and we noticed her heart beat seemed slightly irregular on occasions. NHS diagnosed familial sinus node disease resulting in junctional rhythm. No action or treatment was required. It's just something she was born with and does not effect her life in any way. We have a letter from the consultant cardiologist confirming this. Does anyone think this will impact our chances of getting a subclass 489 visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Quote Does anyone think this will impact our chances of getting a subclass 489 visa? From what you have posted, probably not. It might pay you to obtain a professional assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @wrussell. Not sure how to go about getting a professional assessment? Would this not be covered by the report we have from the original consultant cardiologist?

It should be, but not all specialists' reports follow a format that covers all the legal issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonno1981 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Salamat @wrussell, I’ve just heard back from my MA and they’ve confirmed I need to do as you suggested, just to be on the safe side. I’ve made initial contact with the original consultant cardiologist with a view to generating a specialist medical report tailored to the Australian Government policy guidelines relating to cardiac conditions.
