Family & Partner Visas

Australia’s family and partner visa programs allow citizens and permanent residents to be reunited with their loved ones. Whether you’re applying for a partner or spouse visa, a prospective marriage visa, or sponsoring a parent, child, or other family member, the process involves detailed evidence of your relationship and careful attention to eligibility requirements. We guide you through every step — from assessing your options and preparing a compelling application to responding to requests from the Department of Home Affairs — so you can move forward with confidence.

Partner Visas (Subclasses 820/801 & 309/100)

For partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. The onshore stream (820/801) lets you apply and remain in Australia while your application is processed, while the offshore stream (309/100) is for partners applying from outside Australia. Both are two-stage pathways: a temporary visa is granted first, followed by the permanent visa once the relationship is shown to be genuine and continuing. We help you gather relationship evidence across the financial, social, household, and commitment aspects the Department assesses.

Fiancé / Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)

For people who intend to marry their Australian partner. The Subclass 300 visa allows you to travel to Australia and marry your prospective spouse within the visa validity period, after which you can apply for a Partner visa. Applicants generally need to have met in person and provide evidence of a genuine intention to marry. We advise on timing, eligibility, and the transition to a Partner visa after marriage.

Parent & Child Visas

For families seeking to reunite parents or children with relatives in Australia. Parent visa options range from contributory pathways with shorter processing times to non-contributory streams, each with its own cost, waiting period, and balance-of-family considerations. Child visas allow dependent, adopted, or orphaned relative children to join a parent who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident. We help you identify the right subclass for your circumstances and prepare the sponsorship and supporting evidence required.
