Parent Visa
(subclass 103)

The Parent (subclass 103) Visa is a permanent visa to allow the parent of a settled Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen to move to Australia. You can apply for this visa from inside or outside Australia.

In addition to having a suitable sponsor, you must also meet a number of additional criteria. One of these requirements is passing the “balance of family” test which, put simply, tests whether you have more children living in Australia than in any other country. You also need to provide evidence of your ability to satisfy this test, including evidence of your relationship to each child and where they live.

You will also need to provide evidence of

  • your identity
  • your partner and any dependents’ identities (if applying with family)
  • your sponsor’s identity
  • your sponsor’s eligibility to be your sponsor
New zealand citizens

You must also show that you have made adequate arrangements 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 team at All Access Migration team can assist with all aspects of the Parent (subclass 103) Visa application process, including advising comprehensively on the requirements of the visa, including advising on the level/quality of supporting evidence required for the application. Our office will also prepare detailed submissions to the Department of Home Affairs outlining you and your sponsor’s ability to meet each requirement of the visa, as well as outlining the evidence provided.

We can also prepare and lodge both the visa application and sponsorship application, as well as supporting evidence on your behalf, with the Department, and provide ongoing ancillary advice regarding the same.

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

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.
