looking1 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hi there my wife and I are looking to move to Australia Perth but there is one problem my son aged two was born with goldenhar even though its a very mild case of it so that the docter actualy said he almost does not have it ,fact is he was born with it and by definition was diagnosed with goldenhar syndrome .This could severly affect our chances of getting a Visa. The advice I got was to seek advice so here I am. Are there some of you who had to deal with something like this during your application and how did you go about the health issues?I was also wondering if any of you could provide info on the medicare systems or other organisations for cleft or goldenhar patients in Australia that I could contact or even some docters working with these patientsOur reason for going is to build a beter future for our kids we realy want to try our best. We love both our kids and would truely do anything for them and to their benefit.Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rozellem Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 All I can add to this topic is that there is a immigration agent in Sydney, called George Lombard,who is THE guru on obtaining visas in difficult cases where there is a medical hurdle. He is active on the britishexpats forum. I know its very vague, but you could perhaps ask his advice on your chances. He is helping a friend of mine at the moment (a diabetic with a kidney transplant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looking1 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks Rozellam how can I contact him or should I just go check on that forum? Sorry if this sounds stupid to ask but Iam new to these kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmarie61 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi and good luck! Sorry, I don't have any info. Just wanted to wish you luck. I hope it all works out. Perhaps go onto the British expats forum and search for the guy mentioned above? You should be able to send him a private message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozellem Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 What Elmarie said. Google him (he has been at it for years and DIAC knows him well) and get his details and, if it was me, I would join britishexpats and use their forum search function to see if anybody else has had the same type of case as you. You might find information directly relating to your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrandMrsK Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 HI. as far as i know, the Oz government dont want people who will burden their health system. If goldenhar is a condition that requires long term interventions, they may still accept you provided that you agree to pay for private health care. If he is as mild as you suggest and does not foresee long term needs, it may be fine. I wish you luck!T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
