Hi, I have applied for a 1 yr visa in Australia, but i have had a history of TB and have taken treatment for 13 months for it. Are there any chances that the visa can be rejected? Also will the LCU ask me to do the sputum tests compulsorily?

T B is virtually eliminated in Australia. 1 -- proven treatment properly taken. 2 -- Antibody & sputum test probably compulsory. 3 -- T B IS A COMPULSORY Medical reporting like Bird Flu. Aid's, All Hepertitise strains, etc. 4 -- YOU need to be proven healthy & NOT be a carrier or yourself a medical burden. 5-More importantly apart from health Australia lets in tourist's & short term work visa's to most but not all who apply. Reason being if applicant is deemed likly to overstay visa. BEST OF LUCK, WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA & G'DAY MATE. The great climate, friendly people, warm, sandy beaches, clean air, food & water is precisly what was reconmended in the past for Consumpsum.

from the Australian Department of Immigration website (www.immi.gov.au) If you are planning to visit or live in Australia, and are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you must meet certain health requirements before a visa can be granted. This means that you may be asked to undergo a health examination. if you go to the following page http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/index.htm you can click through and find out what requirements are needed to obtain a visa, in terms of health. But yes, your visa can be rejected if your condition is not stable or if you pose a health risk of any kind.

i think it depends on where you are from...i'm not really sure. i think they would be very strict on letting you into the country. Immigration would want to ensure you are getting treatment and would probably take the sputum tests that you mentioned. i have gone to the website and found this link for you: http://www.immi.gov.au/panoptic/search.cgi?collection=dima-meta&query=Tuberculosis&form=simple&num_ranks=10&Search=Go it is a search for any documents about Tuberculosis, there are a few on there which state that you cant enter the country if you have Tuberculosis. i hope this helps
