Hi Robogirl

My RA is also well under control with my medication, I also have private medical insurance so I am not sure if it will be a problem. I will be getting a letter from my doctor telling them about he condition and I will also get a letter from my medical insurance stating that they cover my chronic medication so there will be no cost to the government. I am hoping this will be sufficient.

What I also read online is that when applying for PR they do a medical and should you be classed as overweight/obese they then do further test to find out if you have heart disease, diabetes or arthritus so obviously they are not wanting to take chances that anyone will be a drain on their medical resources.

Maybe get a letter from your medical aid saying that all your costs will be covered in Australia?

Veronika? Does this sound ok to you or should we be concerned or doing something more perhaps???
