Did you catch me on Radio this morning? I am pleased to be raising awareness of MS and the unfair migration rules we are subject to as an expat since I was diagnosed with a medical condition after being here for years. If you haven't signed and shared our petition, it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me and others in the same situation.

I’ve spent 8 years living the Australian dream, following the rules, navigating countless visa hurdles, and working hard towards Permanent Residency - only to get sick and rejected on medical grounds. These past few years have been the toughest of my life; as if an MS diagnosis wasn’t difficult enough these ongoing challenges have taken their toll. Only close family and friends truly understand the struggles we’ve faced, including the substantial amount of money we've spent on visa applications and supporting costs. We even paid $4k just to lodge an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, not to mention the legal advice - some of which was poor and ended up costing us a fortune.
My career has also suffered. I’ve been forced to take on temporary office support roles because my visa status is insecure, despite having a 10-year career as a Scrum Master and Digital Project Manager.
The last thing I wanted to do was go public about my health, but unfortunately, I feel I have no other option. It’s been over three years since we first applied for Residency and more than a year since we lodged our appeal. Despite this, several lawyers have advised us that we’re unlikely to win due to the complexity of the law and would be relying on ministerial intervention which may never come.
I urge that the law be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the contributions the applicants make to this country. We are hard workers, and I believe our efforts should be considered.

Please sign our petition to help myself and many more who this law is affecting: www.change.org/robandjess

Thanks so much for your support ❤️

Hi everyone, I need your help! After calling Sydney home for 8 years, we are facing the heartbreaking possibility of deportation due to a health condition I was diagnosed with in 2020. Since then, Rob and I have been fighting against Australian immigration laws that penalise us because of my MS diagnosis, despite my stable condition and our ongoing contributions to the country.
This situation has left us in a state of uncertainty, and time is running out. Please, take a moment to sign and share this petition—your support could make all the difference.

Do not deport me and my partner, because she was diagnosed with a health condition

It's that time of year again! This May, I'm participating in The May 50K challenge to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis. MS strikes young people like myself in the prime of their lives. The average age of diagnosis is only 30 years old, and there is no known cure YET!

Please make a donation to me, or even better join my team "Moving for MS" in the UK or Australia - This year our team is officially global baby! Let's beat last years fundraising target of $2k!

You can choose your activity and number of KM's you'd like to tackle throughout May. Some team members decided to run 50km over the month last year whereas some decide to get their steps to 200km over the month. Go at your own pace! :)

Follow this URL to donate, or join the AU or UK team: linktr.ee/jessherself

We will be walking, running, dancing and generally having FUN! There may even be an event brewing ;)

Thank you for all your support
