Fat Poms
Are fat people allowed to immigrate to OZ. Is there a limit to how fat someone could be for example would morbidly obese people with a BMI over 40 not pass the medical requirements?

Re: Fat Poms
Do a search on the Immigration forum for BMI.

As someone who really struggles with their weight I would advise anyone to try and shift a bit before the medicals and subsequent arrival here. |
Re: Fat Poms
On a related theme, I reckon a person's weight should be taken into consideration when it comes to baggage allowance on flights :D

I store weight like I dont know what........like it worries that I wont ever feed it again........but am I unhealthy, most definitely not....am I fit...yup indeed, if I went to a gym I would be able to keep up with anyone in a spinning class or the like and can go like a trooper......so cant be unhealthy. |
