It's totally up to the department. I know of someone who is colour blind, he passed his original medical, got his job with QP, then when he went for another medical 2 years later, they failed him due to him being colourblind!!

He had to argue long and hard .... and was touch and go whether they would keep him. Fortunately, they did.

THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY WITH QP. It is down to who you know, what department you are in and whether someone will fight for your rights.

I am color blind with partial green and red. I have an offer from QP IT and I think unless you are into avaiation or crane/rig operator, you should be fine. I could make more remarks, once I get visa and reach there :).

looks like you are refering to a lady engineer, if her work isnt field related, then theres a good possibility of her getting through, moreover if she is really good and the department encourages her case, a lot can happen.

because in such cases, if the candidate is really deserving the HR may forward the case to the concerend department to reach a final decision.if the dept insists on having her and that her problem wont interfere with work, then anything is possible.

all in its good time.

it depends upon the position, for ex, i know for a fact that a candidate was rejected becasue he couldnt spot a shade of green properly, he wasnt colour blind, there was a lot of defence for his case, but he was rejected because he couldnt recognise a shade of green. here it probably mattered becasue he would be working in the lab.

so it really depends upon the field of activity.

Its QP's call.
