Family Visa

Legal advice for families looking to reunite in Australia through the appropriate family visa pathway.

Family Visa

Keeping Families Together

Australia’s family migration program allows eligible Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor certain family members to live in Australia.

Because every family relationship is different, there isn’t a single family visa that suits everyone. The right pathway depends on factors such as your relationship to the applicant, eligibility requirements, sponsorship criteria, and the visa subclass available.

At Aurelia, we assess your circumstances carefully, explain the available options, and prepare applications that are supported by the appropriate evidence from the outset.

Family Visa Pathways

We provide advice and assistance across a range of family visa categories, including:

Parent Visas

For eligible parents wishing to join their children in Australia on either a temporary or permanent basis, depending on the available visa pathway.

Child Visas

For eligible children of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.

Remaining Relative Visas

Available where an applicant's only near relatives are living permanently in Australia.

Aged Dependent Relative Visas

For certain older relatives who are financially dependent on an eligible Australian sponsor.

Carer Visas

For applicants who need to provide ongoing care to an eligible Australian relative with a long-term medical condition.
