13.01.2022 The family of a West Australian-born child who faced deportation due to his disability is celebrating an "important" ruling that will likely now afford him a three-year visa. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) have directed the Department to consider that the young boy, Kayban, meets the requirements for the waiver of the health requirement. In its decision, the AAT recognised the severity of Kaybans disabilities and the medical costs associated with his treatment. T...his positive outcome may serve as precedent for other migrant families in similar situations. The boys mother rejoiced, telling ABC News "it means we can concentrate on being a family and for the next three years, at least not have to carry the burden of immigration issues".

03.01.2022 The process of gaining citizenship for Grant Gronewold was a long battle, due to Australias migration health requirement, which prevents any prospective migrant with a disability or illness from obtaining a permanent visa if it is deemed their condition will be too costly. Grant was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a baby and told his life expectancy was just 17 years. Now at 32 years of age, he is waiting for a double lung transplant but continues to share the reality of l...ife with a chronic illness through his work so others feel less alone. While his mother believes migrating to a country with a better health care system saved her sons life, Australias migration law system still unfairly discriminates against people with a disability or chronic illness.
