Family & Partner Visas
Australia offers a range of family visas
Family visas provide pathways for reuniting families and loved ones within the country. These visas are designed to foster strong family bonds, allowing eligible individuals to live, work, and study in Australia with their Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen family members.
Partner Visas (Subclass 820/801 and Subclass 309/100)
The Partner Visas cater to individuals in committed relationships with Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. There are two streams: the onshore Subclass 820/801 visa for applicants already in Australia and the offshore Subclass 309/100 visa for applicants applying from outside Australia. These visas offer temporary and then permanent residency options, allowing couples to build their lives together in Australia.

Be sponsored by your partner.
-
Evidence of shared life with your partner.

Child Visas (Subclass 101, 102, 445, and 802)
Child Visas are available for dependent children of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. The appropriate visa depends on the child's location and the circumstances of the sponsoring parent. These visas allow children to join their parents in Australia and enjoy access to quality education, healthcare, and a nurturing environment.

The Parent Visas cater to parents who wish to live in Australia with their Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen children. There are various visa options, including Contributory and Non-Contributory visas, with varying processing times and requirements. These visas offer parents the opportunity to be close to their children and share in their family's milestones.
Basic Requirements:
-
The parent must be in or outside Australia at the time of application and when the visa is granted depending on the type of visa.
-
The parent must be the biological, adoptive, or stepparent of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen child who is settled in Australia.

For certain type of parent visas, the parent must be of eligible age (usually pension age or older).
