The family migration program
has been implemented to give a family member
with specific needs the opportunity to join
their family in Australia. Applications are
carefully assessed to ensure the system isn’t
being misused and therefore it is important
to get the application right the first time.
An aged dependent relative is a person who is
of the age to be granted an aged pension in
Australia, and who is single, widowed, divorced
or formally separated. The aged dependent relative
must have been dependent on the relative in
Australia for at least the past of 3 years.
Proof will be required that you are now single,
the relationship to your relative in Australia
and the dependency on your relative in Australia.
An Australian citizen, Australian
permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen
may sponsor a remaining relative if the remaining
relative has no close family ties outside Australia.
Remaining relative means the applicant or the
applicants spouse do not have any close remaining
relatives meaning parent, brother, sister, child
or step equivalents. It is also a requirement
that the applicant and spouse together do not
have more than 3 overseas near relatives residing
in a different country or countries.
An Australian citizen, Australian
permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen
may sponsor a member of their immediate family
who is willing and able to give substantial
and continuing assistance where a medical condition
is causing physical, intellectual or sensory
impairment of the ability to attend to the practical
aspects of daily life. The assistance must be
required for at least 2 years. Medical assessment
of the person needing care must be undertaken
by Health Services Australia (HSA).
Applying for a family visa
