Mental Health - Application

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Im Paul and new to the board.

We are looking at starting the process to move to Australia, but curious as to whether or not my wife's mental health will mean our application is rejected. She suffers from Bipolar. Has anybody had any previous experience?

IT shouldn't do as long as her condition is well controlled by medication. However, I would strongly recommend you speak with a good registered migration agent.

Hi Paul,

Mental health is treated just like any physical condition when it comes to the medicals and they'll be looking at potential cost.  As stormy said, it's worth  speaking to a good migration agent and one who may specialise in medical conditions.  Information that is useful is - how well controlled the condition is, hospitalisations, functionality e.g. working/studying (showing that the impact of the illness is small).   I've known people get visa's who've been in hospital in the past under the act but their symptoms well contolled and working etc., 

Good luck
