STRESSING OVER MEDICALS BECAUSE OF WEIGHT

[Philip84]

Hi all

 

I came across this post from way back. Just want to know about these medical and also stressing about exactly the same. Don't want to pay R75k and then refused visa due to medical. 

 

When will it be denied? In high school I was in bike accident and broke arm. Had to put steel plate in. Is stuff like  this a reaso. Anyone with experience

They will look at potential future cost to the Australia taxpayer.  If the injury is well healed and not needing constant help from specialists then I doubt it would affect their decision.

As Chris has mentioned with respect to meeting the 'significant cost' element within the health criteria the main interest is whether you have a condition that into the future will cost Australia a significant amount.

So with respect to your broken arm and the steel plate from your school days.  If the injury has healed and the future prognosis is that there is no expectation that further treatment (ie potential cost to Australia) will be required then this would be unlikely to be an issue. 

If for example a person had an injury where the prognosis was that the injury would need to be monitored with e.g. an expectation that further operations are likely to be needed before the injury was fixed.  Then the Dept of Home Affairs would consider what the expected cost of that treatment would be for an Australian under similar circumstances and then use that figure to consider whether you met the 'cost' element of the health criteria.

thank you both of you.

 

I think when you actually to put down the money then it really becomes REAL, and we become really paranoid about any potential health issues like weight and past injuries hang over our heads.
