Contributory Parent Visa
(subclass 143)

The Contributory Parent (subclass 143) Visa is a permanent visa pathway for parents of a settled Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident of Australia or eligible New Zealand citizen and, if granted, results in Australian permanent residency.

You can be inside or outside of Australia at the time that your visa is submitted. In order for a decision to be made on your application, however, you must be outside of Australia (except for in very limited circumstances).

This visa subclass requires a suitable sponsor, usually your child, who must be ‘eligible’, taking into account their age, Australian immigration status, how long they have lived in Australia, and their ability to provide you with support, housing and financial help for the first 2 years of your visa.

You are also required to procure an assurance of support, confirming that you have the means to support yourself or access adequate support, and therefore will not rely on government assistance when in Australia.

Additionally, you will need to show that you are able to satisfy the “balance of family” test. The balance of family test assesses how many of your children are in Australia versus elsewhere. As part of this assessment, you will need to provide evidence of your relationship to each child and where they live.

In terms of evidence, you will need to provide evidence of your identity, your partner and any dependents’ identities (if applying with family), your sponsor’s identity and their ability to meet sponsorship eligibility considerations. You must also provide evidence of the arrangements you have made for health insurance.

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

  • the application process
  • providing advice on the requirements of the visa

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.

Overhaul Needed For Skilled Migration System To Address Labour Shortages

Australia’s skilled migration system is facing a significant challenge for addressing the country's skill shortage and labour crisis. However, the mandatory job advertisement requirement for employers recruiting skilled migrants has hindered the system's success, as recently pointed out by a review conducted by Martin Parkinson, Joanna Howe, and John Azarias.
