Initial Medical Assessment 804 visa

[ausdre]

Hi All,

Recently got parents medical assessment request for 804, lodged 3 years back.

 Question— Has anyone got rejected in the initial medical assessment or it is just to check if TB or any other communicable disease is there or not ?

2.) Can diabetes(controlled) be an issue for rejection ? Do they even check it in the request.

They have BP(controlled one) and my mother had breast cancer (25 years ago, she was assessed earlier as well and was granted visitor visa), My concern is there a chance they can fail this initial medical test, Have you seen any forum where such incident has happened or this initial assessment is just to check if any communicable disease is there or not like HIV,TB etc .

Hi 

Did you find answer to your above concern? I am very worried about my dads medical. He takes insulin and other medications. Concerned about his low Egfr. 

Please if you could share your experience.

The recent medical assessment request for your parents' 804 visa is most likely a routine check for public health risks in Australia, particularly infectious diseases like TB. It's less common for controlled conditions like diabetes to be a direct cause for rejection.

Here's some reassurance:

• The focus is on public health. The assessment aims to identify potential health risks that could require significant medical care in Australia.

• Managed conditions are usually okay. Controlled conditions like diabetes are generally not an issue as long as they are well-managed.

While rejections can happen in any medical assessment, it's not common for the initial stages focused on communicable diseases. Your parents may have already been screened for some of these concerns during previous visa applications.

If you have any specific concerns about their health conditions, consulting the doctor conducting the assessment is always best. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date advice.
