How can I bring my aged dependent relative to live permanently in Australia ? |
If your aged dependent relative is old enough to be granted an Australian age pension, is single, has been financially dependent and remains dependent on a close Australian relative, they may apply for this visa outside or in Australia. |
Ho to apply for an Aged Dependent Relative visa |
To apply for an Aged Dependent Relative visa, you must be :
- old enough to be granted an Australian age pension (does not mean that you will receive the age pension - there is a waiting period of ten years.)
- single, widowed, divorced or formally separated,
- wholly or substantially dependent on your relative for financial support, for at least three years before your application,
- sponsored by the relative who is :
- an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen,
- a close relative: a child, adopted child, parent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece or nephew (or step relatives)
- over the age of 18
- have an approved Assurance of Support.

How is my application for an Aged Dependent Relative visa processed ? |
Under Australia's family reunion migration program, higher priority is given to child and partner applications. Aged Dependent Relative visa applications have a lower processing priority.
You can expect a substantial wait before your Aged Dependent Relative visa application is processed. |
