Medical condition and visa application

[MartynAndSam]

Hello. My youngest son (7 years old) has a condition called multicystic dysplastic kidney, basically meaning he was born with only one kidney. He doesn’t receive treatment for it as it is not needed and only has a blood test once a year to check the remaining kidney’s function. My question is - as this condition doesn’t require ongoing treatment and only annual checkups, could this affect our visa application?

Thanks.

IT shouldn't do if the condition normally carries on like that, though they make require a letter from a consultant

I feel like we would only be able to speculate here and not offer you anything reassuring or concrete. Best to declare in the application and hope for the best. As Very Stormy said, a letter from the consultant explaining the "low touch" management of your sons condition would be helpful. I had my PR application approved not too long ago while I was currently suffering from an illness that had not yet resolved and is likely to be something that I need to manage going forwards. During my medical exam the doc took note of it but the application was approved in the end. So, in short, many medical conditions make it through.

It will come down to a matter of how much the condition is likely to cost the Australian government over 10 years.  You would be well advised to seek a professional opinion about the best format for specialist's report that correctly addresses the medical and legal issues.
