Migration Review - call for recent visa rejections/waivers due to disability

Recent cases of visa applications rejected due to disability?
Looking for cases of rejected visa applications of applicants or family members with disability - including cases where the health requirement was waived by Ministerial intervention to allow for visas to be granted
The National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA) is looking for people who have applied for a visa to enter Australia over the past 6 months or so and were rejected. Cases in which the applicant was with disability and/or a family member. We are also interested in those cases that may have succeeded after a waiver of the health requirement was successful and subsequently the visa was granted. The background to this request is the expected release of the report on the ??Inquiry into the migration treatment of disability?? by the Joint Standing Committee on Migration. Numerous organisations with interest in disability, human rights and immigration have previously jointly submitted to the Inquiry making the case for change. We areg up on this joint work with media statements, letters to politicians and post report release plans. It will be critical to be aware of any recent cases as described above. If you now of any recent rejections and/or waivers please conact Sibyllt. The deadline for responses is Tuesday June 1, 2010.
