The Australian Government operates visa policies for fiancés, partners, parents, children and other family members of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens.
Family visas are divided into several categories:
Partner Category
Partners and fiancés of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens may apply for visas to enter and/or to remain permanently in Australia. This category applies to the following applicants:
• people intending to get married (fiancés)
• married (de jure) partners
• de facto partners (including those in a same-sex relationship).
Parent Category
Parents may be able to migrate to Australia if they have a child in Australia who is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Child Category
For dependent children, orphan relatives or adopted children of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Other Family
Aged dependent relatives, remaining relatives and carers of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens may apply for visas to come to Australia permanently.
