No offense but you sound like a Montessori teacher, but its not your classroom and we are not three years old babies lol
I respect all MODS and whatever I said above didn't mean any disrespect.

Oh, and as a typist I know exactly where the U and I keys are. Once is a typing mistake. Twice in the same post is a spelling mistake. And no, I am not a teacher, just pointing out an error.

I'd definitely agree with Dorothy - I think speaking to a registered migration agent who has expertise in medical complications is something the OP should look at.

Although health authorities consider the risk of hepatitis transmission from newly arrived migrants to be low, screening for hepatitis is mandatory where the applicant is any of the following:
pregnant
a child for adoption
an unaccompanied refugee minor child
a temporary visa applicant intending to work as, or to study to be, a doctor, nurse, dentist or paramedic in Australia.
Examining doctors or MOCs may also ask any applicant to undergo tests for hepatitis where they consider it necessary.

To the OP, all I've found on the subject is this:
Hepatitis
Although health authorities consider the risk of hepatitis transmission from newly arrived migrants to be low, screening for hepatitis is mandatory where the applicant is any of the following:
pregnant
a child for adoption
an unaccompanied refugee minor child
a temporary visa applicant intending to work as, or to study to be, a doctor, nurse, dentist or paramedic in Australia.
Examining doctors or MOCs may also ask any applicant to undergo tests for hepatitis where they consider it necessary. If the applicant is assessed as having hepatitis a decision on whether the applicant meets the health requirement will be made on the same grounds as any other pre-existing medical condition. The main factor to be taken into account is the cost of the condition to the Australian community of health care and community services.
The applicant may also be asked to give an undertaking to report to the Health Undertaking Service for referral to state or territory health authorities on arrival in Australia.

I still think it'd be a good idea to have a chat with an agent that specialises in medical issues.
