Working Holiday Visa with Epilepsy

[CD1]

Hi I am going to apply for a WHD next year and I have epilepsy. Was seizure free for 7 years until the the other month when I had 1 seizure. I’m confident I’ll have no more. I also take daily medication. I’m quite worried this might effect my application. 
 

has anyone been in a similar situation before or know anything about entering Oz with epilepsy etc etc. 

All help is extremely appreciated. Thanks

 My daughter had a WHV and is epileptic, although this was 11 years ago she had no problem getting a visa, I’m sorry I can’t remember if she had to supply any extra health information. 
She also had no problem getting PR either.

It might be sensible to check if exactly the same medication you take is available here. Previously it was possible to get 3 months medication issued in UK to bring with, to cover your first few months 

I hope this helps, wish you all the best for your trip

Thanks, was she seizure free for a long time before going? If you don’t mind sharing

I’m sorry I really don’t remember, as we hadn’t been living in the same country for over 10 years, she had been living in Mexico and Kenya before coming here.
