    This is a copy of what they will go through..

    I know that TB and HIV are the big ones that you don't want to have.

    This condition might be fine, if it's well controlled.
    Good luck.

    He, does anyone know is the new Australian Working Holiday VISA coming in, in Jan 2012. It means that you will not have to do the 3 months working on the farm???????
    It is a straight 2 year VISA...

    Please reply.....

    Nor has there been any plans for such a visa announced

    Is this a question from your local pub quiz?

    Lets have a look at What's New for Working Holiday Visa's because if there was a new type of visa there would be a media release. Nope nothing there sorry Buddy.

    Yep, I agree with Mellor and Mandrake. It sounds like a lot of pub talk to me.

    OP - I can't really help with personal experience but generally illness in and of itself won't stop you. If it's well controlled and in their opinion you won't be a burden on the health system during your time here then you should be ok. You'll probably have to do a few extra tests and get a report on your condition from a nephrologist but the illness itself may not prevent you from getting a visa.

    Best of luck with it.

    You usually don't need a medical for a sponsored 457 visa anyway, different story if it is permanent residence as a medical is mandatory. Even then your average run of the mill medical condition type thing (diabetes, asthma, psoriasis) is not a show stopper but a condition that could cost a bit of money to medicare for ongoing treatment would be the stumbling block.

    If you are on a 457 you would be paying for Doctor visits, specialist visits, and any non-emergency treatment.
