Hi sorry to ask we have booked our medicals and just wondered as my son
has asthma we will need to provide a letter from the doctor. When i
asked the medical sent what was needed she didnt really say much just
what medication he was on. When i spoke to the doctor he didnt really
know what to put. So if anyone has had to provide doctors letters could
you let me know what i should be asking my doctor to put.

Many thanks

Sarah

Tons of kids here in Australia have asthma, so don't worry about it. If
you want to bring a letter, just have your doctor write saying that your
son has asthma, what medication he may be using and if it is well
controlled with meds. If he has never been hospitalised for it, you
could also ask him/her to put that in the letter.

Really they are only interested in conditions that are likely to cost
the Australian health system a lot of money.
