Hi
I am already invited under visa 189 and is in the process of gathering documents for submission & need to undergo medicals once the CO asks for that.
We are a family of 3 with our son, who is 7 years old, is implanted with cochlear implants to aid his hearing as he was born with profound hearing loss.
Just today morning, one of my friends in Melbourne told that there is a possible risk in getting the PR granted if kids are having health issues, which has got us worried.
Now I am not sure whether having hearing issues/bionic implants is considered a "health issue" or any possible funding required in future may go against us.
My son is already implanted bilaterally from India & so the expensive part is over and what needs in future is possible repairs or replacement of processors every 6-8 years or so.
Does anyone know whether such instances which may affect DIBP Australia's decision of PR visa grant ?
Thanks
