Medical Info
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick question. My family is just about to do their medicals for their visas. My Dad is classed as obese and I seem to remember an earlier thread saying that he could be turned down for this. Is this the case?!
Many thanks,
Claire

To work out BMI, go to

At my Oz medical, the doc told me the overall health pic was more important. I guess if your Dad is generally fit & well, it need not be a big deal. Why not phone the clinic where you're going to have the meds & have a chat with the nurse about it?
Actually, I used the medical as an incentive to get off my bumper sized ass (no pun intended there) & lose 10kg. It worked!
Good luck!
Anya.
