Kayban Jamshaad was born in a West Australian hospital with severe disabilities, but his now at risk of being deported from the country.


There are few people in Australia who have kicked the odds like Kayban Jamshaad.

Born in a West Australian hospital with severe disabilities, doctors turned off his life support when he was barely a week old.

He survived, but three years later, Kayban is now fighting a whole new battle.

His parents, brother and sister were all granted temporary residency visas, but his application was rejected.

Shizleen Aishath is a social worker in the Western Australian town of Bunbury, and Kyaban’s mother.
