My husband still has "something" on his record which I have declared...obviously...I am main applicant and they have asked for no more good character refs yet and I dont think they would have asked for meds knowing they may refuse on a crim record...I do know that WBB had things on his record and he got in...spouse visa...I shall keep you informed if you like

[are you talking about the AAT, australian appeals tribuneral? this has info on all the cases and you can search the database for info.ver useful as ive got a drink driving conviction (parking a car in a different spot in a pub car park under a lamp to leave it there overnight and got breathalysed!!!cumbria police nothing better to do!) and found a case that QUOTE" drink driving is not a criminal offence but that of a traffic offence under uk law, or words to that effect. The guy in question has appeal ruled in his favour, so heres hoping that it looks ok for me if you can use this evidence as a ruling??!!???

It's not $20,000 pa but $20,000 over a 3-5 year period. And they don't just look at medical costs, community support costs are also included. On top of that they look at issues like possible prejudice of scarce medical resources (eg organs for transplant), and whether the condition will prevent one from earning a living.
