Australia

[Chris Jones]

I have recently seen a job advertised in Australia that, at least from the 
advert, looks right up my street. However, my husband suffers from mitral 
stenosis which has caused atrial fibrillation and has to take both warfarin 
and digoxin daily. This is likely to continue for the remainder of his life, 
and he is expected to need surgery for a replacement heart valve at some 
point. This may seem somewhat off the point, but, I have heard anecdotal 
evidence that it is impossible to get into Australia to work or live if you 
are anything other than A1 fit. Does anyone out there (anyone in Australia 
read this group???) know if I am being unduly pessimistic or not? I am 
probably going to apply anyway just to see what happens (it looks like a good 
job)Thanks
