Hiya folks,
Our daughter has been under constant care for her heart condition throughout her 17yrs. She saw her cardiologist a few weeks ago, who has said that there are no reasons for her not to come out to OZ and that he will provide any reports needed. Is there anyone out there that has a similar story and have you encountered any problems with the medicals... Need loads of reasuring x:smile:

 

Hi sorry to hear about your daughter. I have a liver condition so was worried about the medical too, the best thing you can do is ask the consultant to write a letter stating where your daughters condition is it (is she stable, will it deteriote in x amount of years etc) also ask him to list any procedures/operations she has had and when they were carried out along with a list of all medication she is taking.
This can be handed to your Panel Dr when you go for your medical, he can then enclose it with your medical report.
I was asked 'to go for further investigation' which basically meant going for a consultation with a Panel Specialist whilst he wrote a report on where my condition was at, it meant paying out another few quid and held the visa process up by a couple of weeks, but thankfully he was great and said he couldnt see me havinga problem. A few days later we were granted the visa.
Good luck i know its easy for me to say don't worry but after being in your shoes i know it probably wont make a difference,lol, but really dont wory and lots and lots of luck

Cal,
It's reasuring to know that thanks. Her cardoilogist has said he will provide ANY written reports if they are requested. To be honest with you she more healthier than me at the moment...so stressed with all this. Have had my nursing registration forms returned to me again for the third time today. Hopefully have got that sorted now. Once that's done and the agency acting for me in Brisbane get me a job, I'm hoping that everything will fall into place easier thatn what the last month has been.Suppose that next thing to stress me will be finding temp' home for when we eventually get there in November. Thanks for your support Cal xx
