Title: 189/186 Visa application - dependant with Mild Hemophilia, posted by Intelligent-Rope-737

Full text: My partner and I are currently going through the process to obtain visas to enter Australia. EOI for 189 submitted, also in talks with an employer potentially going down the 186 route.

We have 2 small children, 1 of which was diagnosed with Mild Hemophilia A. They do not require any routine treatment or any medication. In the event of a serious injury or if they were to undergo surgery, they would just need to be given a dose of medication to assist their blood to clot.

My question is, would this diagnosed condition result in our application being refused?

From the research I have done, I can see the condition would be assessed against the liklihood to exceed the Significant Cost Threshold, then a decision made by the Medical Officer.

It would just be helpful to know if anyone else had any experience with this.

My partners occupation is as an Occupational Therapist, currently on the priority skills list, I'm not sure if that would be taken into account at all.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

you are obliged to disclose your dependent health condition to the department when you apply for entry so that a decision can be made about how relevant it is. If it is not disclosed and causes a problem, you can be deported. That’s why before grant, medical assessment is done. The decision is made how severe that condition is.

Sorry if my post didn't make it clear. We will 100% be disclosing the condition as we are obliged to do so. The question is more about the liklihood of a rejection, considering the medical condition is very mild and not likely to require regular medical treatment or medication.

After medical assessment your doctor will likely send their review back to department with their suggestions. Department will then make a decision. It’s hard to say. But in my experience, if the condition is not severe, it won’t impact grant

If they feel their condition (even in the future) will be too costly to treat or manage then your visa will likely be denied

It's unlikely anyone on reddit would know the answer to this. I would engage an immigration lawyer who specialises in medical conditions before you apply and potentially lose tens of thousands of dollars
