Medical issues and obtaining a Class 1

Hi,

I'm 16, live in Australia and want to be a pilot after high school. I have a few possible medical issues i want to talk about.

Firstly, there is 70% chance i have a form of sinus/sinusitis. I was wondering if i can still obtain a class 1 medical certificate if i have surgery or use a nasal spray.

I wear glasses but my vision can be corrected to the right standards. I also want to know if this is a problem. My mouth/jaw naturally opens up a bit and cant stay closed. Is this a problem? I have trouble breathing through the nose and i think this is related to the sinus.

Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks
