Title: Student program in Australia for people with Thalassemia.
Post by: Ricardosquaiella on May 15, 2023, 08:36:25 PM

Hello everyone. My name is Ricardo and my son Gabriel has Thalassemia Intermedia. We live in Brazil. Gabriel's 17 years old and will finish High School this year. He wants togo to Australia next year for one year undergraduate student program. We are looking for health insurance plan that covers pre existing conditions in order to he can continue his treatment there, but we are facing difficulties to find such coverage. Has anyone faced the same problem? Any suggestion? Thank you so much.

You may have trouble getting coverage in Australia. You could try contacting the Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Australia (TASCA) for more information at https://www.tasca.org.au/contact-us/at
