Parent Visas to Australia

Join your children and live in Australia!

If one or more of your children fell in love with Australia and became an Australian citizen or permanent resident, they may be able to sponsor you to migrate to Australia.

The Parent Migration Program could provide you with the key to unlock a new and exciting life in Australia, but most importantly, allow you to be closer to your loved ones.

To be eligible for Parent Migration, you must be the parent of an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. You must also pass the "balance of family" test, which specifies that at least half of your children must live permanently in Australia; or you must have more children living permanently in Australia than in any other single country.

You must be sponsored by your child, or another eligible adult, who has been settled in Australia as a citizen or permanent resident for at least 2 years. Your sponsor must provide a legal undertaking to support you during your first two years in Australia.

You must also satisfy health and character requirements for permanent entry to Australia.
