Carer Visa (subclass 836)

The Carer (subclass 836) Visa is a permanent visa allowing you to stay in Australia to care for someone with a long-term medical condition who has no reasonable access to care options in Australia. This application must be submitted whilst you are currently in Australia.

To be permitted to travel to Australia as a carer, you must be looking after your relative or a member of their family, and that person must have no reasonable access to this care in Australia. This family member acts as the sponsor for the first two years of your visa.

For the purpose of the Carer (subclass 836) Visa, a relative or near relative can include your partner, child, parent, brother, sister, stepchild, step-parent, stepbrother or stepsister. This can also include your grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew or step equivalent. To an extent, this can extend to your partner’s relatives, such as your partner’s parent or step-parent.

You must demonstrate that you are willing and able to provide ongoing, substantial care and support to this family member, and you must show that you completely understand your sponsor’s medical condition and associated needs.

Your sponsor’s needs must also be assessed by Bupa Medical Visa Services as a medical condition which is long term or permanent, and requires help with practical aspects of daily life for at least two years. Your sponsor must also demonstrate that they cannot reasonably to access this care in Australia from another source, such as a relative or welfare, hospital or community nursing service.

You and your sponsor will be required to provide supporting evidence, including evidence of your sponsor’s needs and the fact that they need care, as well as evidence of your relationship to your sponsor.

You and your sponsor must also satisfy a number of additional considerations, which can include assessments as to health and character. Supporting evidence, such as police certificates, will be required in addition to the above.

Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA): Paving The Way For Skilled Workers And Australian Businesses

Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMAs) significantly evolved Australia's skilled migration framework, offering a dynamic two-tiered system tailored to regional needs. Diverging from traditional migration pathways, DAMAs permit regions to source a broader range of overseas talent. A foundational five-year "head agreement" with regional representatives is at the helm. This paves the way for tier two: individual labour agreements with employers, aligning with the head agreement's stipulations. While 12 DAMAs currently operate, each mirrors its region's unique necessities. While the process might seem intricate, advisors like All Access Migration ensure a streamlined experience for businesses eager to tap into this option.
