Hi Everyone,

Really looking for some advice from anyone who has been through the experience of moving to Australia with type 1 diabetes?

I'm being offered a sponsorship visa and want to put my partner on who is a type 1 diabetic. Just wondered if anyone has had any experience with being rejected a type 1 diabetic? Information is so sparce!

We went on a working holiday visa a few years ago and didn't have any trouble but this visa is permanent.

Thanks so so much!

I came in with my husband in 1999 and didn't have an issue, but when he applied for a permanent visa I had to have some specialised cardio tests (plus the ubiquitous TB xrays and AIDs tests).
