Australian Family Visas Overview

Australian Family Visas unite families by letting relatives of citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens settle Down Under. These pathways offer temporary or permanent options. Key streams include partner, parent, child, and other relatives categories.

Family Sponsored Visas

Partner Visa Stream

Partners build lives together via this stream. Applicants often receive a temporary visa first. They transition to permanent after proving ongoing relationships.

Eligible relationships cover legally married couples, engaged pairs, and de facto partners. Sponsors must be Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.

Main options:

  • Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)

  • Partner Visa Subclass 309/100 (offshore)

  • Partner Visa Subclass 820/801 (onshore)

Parent Visa Stream

Parents join eligible children settled in Australia. Sponsorship comes from the child, who is a citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Contributory parent visas demand higher fees for faster processing:

  • Contributory Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 173)

  • Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143)

  • Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 870)

  • Contributory Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 864)

  • Contributory Aged Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 884)

Non-contributory parent visas wait longer:

  • Parent Visa Subclass 103

  • Aged Parent Visa Subclass 804

Child Visa Stream

Children receive sponsorship from parents who are citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. Options suit various situations.

Key subclasses:

  • Child Visa Subclass 101

  • Adoption Visa Subclass 102

  • Dependent Child Visa Subclass 445

  • Child Onshore Visa Subclass 802

Other Relatives Visas

Eight types allow sponsorship for extended family. These cover dependent or remaining relatives.

List includes:

  • Aged Dependent Relative Visa (Subclass 114)

  • Onshore Aged Dependent Relative Visa (Subclass 838)

  • Remaining Relative Visa (Subclass 115)

  • Onshore Remaining Relative Visa (Subclass 835)

  • Carer Visa Subclass 116

  • Onshore Carer Visa Subclass 836

  • Orphan Relative Visa Subclass 117

  • Onshore Orphan Relative Visa Subclass 837

Eligibility Requirements

Meeting criteria ensures success. Focus on relationships, sponsorship, and personal factors.

Family relationship demands proof. Partners show shared finances or cohabitation. Parents and children verify biological, legal, or adoptive ties. Others prove dependency.

Sponsorship requires an Australian-based family member. They commit to support, housing, and income thresholds to avoid public reliance.

Financial capacity varies. Contributory visas need savings or Assurance of Support bonds.

Age and dependency apply strictly. Children stay under limits or prove disability dependence. Aged parents pass balance-of-family tests.

Health exams confirm standards. Basic English suffices for some. Character checks demand police clearances. No major criminal history allowed.

Visa-specific rules add layers, like cohabitation evidence for partners.
