Hi Satty:

I don't think the Medicals should affect the decision for a 457. Since you would need to have Private Insurance and not rely on the AU Medicare or public health system it would not be a factor. As Weelee said the medical check will basically look for an 'all clear'.

Good luck

We were in the process of emigrating to Australia in Feb when I got diagnosed with Breast cancer. I have had my ops done and they have successfully removed all of it. I have 4 weeks of Radiotherapy treatment to do as a preventative for the future. I will be on some medication for the next 5 years (tablet every day). Can someone pls advise if they know whether our 457 visa will be denied because I had Cancer even though I am in the clear. Any advice will be appreciated as I will be submitting my meds again in August.

Thanks

Satty
