Permanent Visa Options
Family / Carer Visa You can apply for a Carer Visa if you have an Australian citizen/permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen relative who sponsors your application for migration to Australia on the basis of your ability and willingness to care for him/her. Your Sponsor must be related to you as a child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew. He/she must have a medical condition that causes him/her physical, intellectual or sensory impairment to such an extent that he/she is unable to attend to his/her needs on a daily basis. Your Sponsor will need to be assessed by Health Services Australia (‘HSA’) as requiring a carer, HAS will then issue a certificate which must be included with your visa application. Your Sponsor will also need to show that the nature and level of assistance that he/she requires (which you will provide) cannot reasonably be obtained from other relatives in Australia or from welfare, community, hospital, nursing and other related services in Australia. You must be willing and able to provide substantial and continuing assistance to your Sponsor. The Department will look at a number of issues, including your age and other commitments, in assessing whether you will be able to provide the required level of care to your Sponsor. You, and all other members of your family unit, must also meet the relevant health and character requirements. Carer visas may be applied for from within or outside of Australia, but they are rarely granted, as the level set for the grant of a Carer Certificate is very high. |
