Thank you for your ongoing support. Unfortunately, my second request for a ministerial intervention has been rejected. I have been granted an extension for 14 days, but after that expires I don’t know what we’ll do. 

Right now, can you call Immigration Minister David Coleman’s office right now and respectfully request that he let me and Billy stay?

Phone: (02) 62777770 

You can use the following script:

Hello, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling in support of Sidney Vo, a hardworking Australian resident and loving mother. I’m one of 30,000 people who signed her petition. I would like David Coleman to please re-open her application and consider their case in light of the updated immigration health rules for migrants with health conditions. Sidney has built a life for her son in this country and they deserve to stay here. Please let her and Billy stay. Thank you

I am deeply grateful for the outpouring of support I have received from all of you. So many of you have reached out to me sharing your stories of when you were in my situation - the stigma attached to Hepatitis B has forced many migrants to leave Australia instead of revealing their medical condition. 

Mr Coleman can easily reverse the outdated decision that is putting Billy and me in limbo. Can you call the minister right now and help him understand just what this means to our little family? 

Thank you, 

Sidney (and Billy)
