Unite With Your Australian Family
Family is at the heart of Australian values, and the Australian government offers a range of family visas designed to unite loved ones and keep families together.
These visas enable Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their family members to join them in Australia. Whether you’re looking to reunite with close relatives or bring your partner or children to live with you, these visas provide pathways for families to build a life together in this beautiful and diverse country.
PARTNER VISAS
The Australian Partner Visas enable a foreign partner to reunite with their Australian partner in Australia and eventually gain permanent residency. If your partner is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you are eligible to apply for these visas, granting you the right to live and work in Australia.
