As a result of Darragh’s cystic fibrosis he has failed to meet the health criteria for our  permanent visa application.

Our application has been refused.

We have received a decision from the AAT referring our matter to the Minister for Home affairs to consider exercising his discretionary powers to intervene in their case and grant them a visa.

The AAT have referred the matter based on my unique and value skillset to my regional community, the overwhelming support from the Australian community and our son’s involvement in research projects aimed at improving the treatment of cystic fibrosis patients.

Because our visa application has been refused we now only haVe until the 18th June for the Minister to intervene. We are waiting on clarification on the exact date as to when our bridging visa will end.

Please share our story and help us get his attention!!
