Kanish Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hi my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 blood cancer in Australia while she was on a visitor visa, the cancer is curable. It might be too early to ask since she's still undergoing the treatment, but would it be possible for her to visit Australia in the long term or the immigration won't provide clearance on the medical grounds?

wrussell Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Immigration do not provide medical clearances, that is up to a MOC (Medical Officer of the Commonwealth) whose opinion is conclusive and binding on all parties. BUPA currently have the contract. In some cases where an applicant does not meet the health criteria a waiver can be exercised. The health criteria are one of the most complex areas of migration law and have recently undergone significant revisions. May suggest that you consult a registered migration agent for advice about strategy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
