Paul Campbell 10 Report post Posted February 14 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? Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
verystormy 85 Report post Posted February 15 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ali 189 Report post Posted February 17 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
