Emigrate to Australia with a disability?
I'm thinking of emigrating to Australia. I'm an auxiliary nurse and my husband is an engineer.I'm deaf and wear hearing aids. I've no had any problems at work, but does anyone know if this would affect my visa or entering Australia.I don't have medical issues regarding my ears and I'm healthy. Thanks

Ho dear another one of our angels is flying away.
We can ill afford to lose people like you hun but
i can see why,what with the state the country is in.
Your electric and gas bills will be half what you
pay in the UK and your life style will improve
no end,four bedroom houses can be had for
seventeen grand and hospitals are second to none
you will have no problems in continuing you
vocation in oz,they will welcome you with open arms.
Luck in both of your adventure.
Australia's health requirements are intended to ensure that prospective immigrants do not become a burden on Australian taxpayers because of disease or chronic health problems requiring long term and active treatment.
They are not intended as some type of draconian measure to ensure that only people who are 'perfect' in every way with no disabilities whatsoever are allowed to enter. That's simply not the 'Australian way'. Your hearing disability will not affect your eligibility to come here to live and work.
You'll find us a very welcoming and inclusive society. We don't always make it as easy as we should for people with disabilities, but it's not for want of trying.
Come join us and welcome to you both!
Oh, and Adze, where the hell are the 17 grand 4 bedroom houses? Methinks you have your decimal point in the wrong place!
I think as long as you can perform at your job as a nurse, Australia will let you come. As nursing is a much needed profesion here and we have a MAJOUR shortage of all kinds of nurses. It also may depend on what country you come from and if your qualification is equevlent with Australian standards. I work in a nursing home, only as an assistant nurse which is the 2nd bottom rank in nursing here, so I shower people, feed people, toliet people etc, and even to have the certificate III qualification I have means I will never be out of work. We have some Indian girls at the moment at the nursing home I work at that were RN's in India buts when they came here there qualification only added ups to certificate III and even then they had to study some of the ceritifcate III course, so it really depends where you come from if your qualification matches Aussie standards. So you may need to be prepared to do extra study in Australia. I would sugest you go to your local Australian Embassy and ask them if your qualifications match ups to Aussie standards. Hope this helps. :]
you may come on a a million 3 hundred and sixty 5 days WHV yet your skills and your occupation does not qualify you for a migration visa. you will could circulate to college and get a level in a close-by of want (that's annoying to foretell as levels take 3-4 years and the factors of want are re-evaluated each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days)and then get adventure for a pair of years till now you will qualify (time-honored migration age is mid 30s because of the fact of those standards). Having distant kin (uncles) won't provide you any extra advantageous factors for migration till you like the occupation of want.
There would be no problem entering Australia as an emigrant with that type of disability.
I have an australian passport and am thinking that i would like to return to australia..however i have since met my partner who is dasabled physically ..not mentaly...but i i wanted him to go wwith me how would his dissability affect his aplication ?
I can't imagine that it would. They're desperate for nurses anyway, it would be mad to turn you away.
