Hello!
My husband and I are considering moving to Australia. I would be applying for a visa based on my occupation as a radiology technologist.
However, we have reservations about the health assessment. My husband has Crohn's disease, a condition that requires injections of a very expensive medicine every 8 weeks. The medicine is approved for the same use in Australia and is available. However, it is not covered under Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme so we would be paying out-of-pocket or finding an alternative.
Has anyone dealt with immigrating to Australia when yourself or a family member has a chronic (but not infectious or debilitating) condition? Any advice would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Anna
