Asthma affect medicals
 

Hi there i was just wondering before we start on the whole applying for visas process does asthma affect entry into Australia?
My daughter is only 18 months but has been in hospital many times and the doctors have said it's highly likely she has asthma (cant diagnose until 2 apparently).
Would this stop us getting into Australia? I thougt it best to ask this question asap because i wouldnt want us to get so excited and then have our hearts broken!
Thanks in advance
