    This is a really tough one for me, all of my friends have already or are basically jumping ship and moving to a different country,

    my problem is I'm on disability over here for anxiety/depression. At the moment I'm probably not well enough to go, but maybe in a few months I'll be feeling a bit better. Will this all be looked at in a negative way if I try to move to Australia and give it a go? I don't want to be left in Ireland on me own.

    I haven't worked in Ireland for about 2 years, but have been to college and I have some decent qualifications.

    Will Australia let somebody into their country with a disability like mine, it's a bit of a gamble for them and myself, as I'm not sure if it will even work out.

    Any help at all?

    What sort of move? Working holiday?
    Migration ?

    Don't think you can enter on PR .. Have a read of health requirements on immi.gov.au

    Yeah, working holiday might suit you, your chances of claiming disability over here though are zero.

    Sorry, Yes it would be for a working holiday. I wouldn't be trying to claim disability over there either.

    The only thing I'd need is my medication when over there. I don't know how much I'd have to pay for that, maybe get a letter from my doctor here may help.

    Only thing I'd be worried about is with my disability I could be ok for a few months then maybe have a bad spell, it's and on and off thing with me.

    But moving to Oz might just give me the lift I need in life at the moment.
