Hi guys quick question, I'm due to fly out with the kids in September to join my partner on his 457 visa. I have just this week been given results that I have a large prolapsed disc in my lower back pressing on the nerves. We plan to go for PR would this go against me???

Thanks in advance

Ouch! Mrs p had this a few years ago and was in agony for a long time. She was due for surgery but a couple of weeks before she slipped on the wet decking at the back of our house and it popped back.

 

As to your question, I'm not certain but I doubt it. I think what they're mainly interested in is you being a long term burden on the health system or infecting Australia with a horrid communicable disease. So, things like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, the big C, TB, The Black Death, Ebola, that disease from that awful film with Dustin Hoffman and anything that might turn us all into zombies, those are the kinds of things that might be a barrier to PR.

It shouldn't Kate but you will need to declare it on the medicals and I would get your Dr. to write you a letter stating what the condition is, tests/investigations and treatment - any on going treatment and the prognosis over the next 4 years e.g. are you likely to need surgery, no further input etc.
