Hollruss92 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Hi. I wondered if anyone knows much about the medical exam and what they may decline. My partner has IBD (irritable bowel disease) and he takes two types of medication for this - Omemprazole and pentasa. I wondered if this would fail a medical exam if anyone knows this sort of thing? We don’t want to start paying out money to the process of migrating to Australia and then fail the medical exam. I have seen one post about this sort of thing and it’s scared us a little but it was back in 2017 so not sure if things have changed. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Based on what you have posted no. Immigration carry out an assessment of what the likely costs to Australia will be and base it on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDougster Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 IBD is inflammatory bowel disease, IBS is irritable bowel syndrome. Mesalazine is a cheap, old bowel anti-inflammatory and so long as he's not had any flares or admission it should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollruss92 Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 He’s never been admitted into hospital but he does have to take the two medications I mentioned above every day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
