The Australian Government offers family reunion visa pathways that allow Australian citizens, permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens to bring their spouse, children or other eligible family members to Australia.

Key visa types include:

1. Partner Visas: For the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. Includes both temporary and permanent stages.
2. Child Visas: For children (including step-children or dependents) to join their parents in Australia.
3. Parent & Other Family Visas: For parents, dependent older relatives or carers. Family visa processing priorities and quotas apply.

Application key points:

• Choose the correct visa category that matches your situation (temporary vs permanent) and your relationship to the sponsor.
• Provide evidence of relationship, financial support, health and character requirements.
• Processing priority is higher for partner and child visas; parent and other family visas may face longer queues.
