Ronan20 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have received a 457 visa. Our two year old son has Down Syndrome. Is he entitled to avail of all services that are available to help cope with DS or are there exclusions because we only have a 457 visa and not a PR visa.

Guest siamsusie Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi Ronan, I know absolutely nothing about 457 visas. Would this apply to you guys at all.....? http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/457-health-insurance-faq-visa-holder.htm Susie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan20 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Susie, Thanks for the reply. We are covered by this insurance, but I think that his service needs are different. But I'm not too sure either Ronan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal2 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 not sure about Ireland, I think it's different slightly to the UK, but I still think you should get the medical side ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
