During your stay in Australia, enrol in Medicare to access the local healthcare system immediately.

We follow a clear, step-by-step roadmap to make sure your paperwork moves forward without any mistakes or delays.
Choose the Right Subclass to Join Your Children in Australia
There are three main choices available for families. Each option fits a different budget, timing need, and long-term moving plan for parents who want to join their children.
Subclass 143
Contributory Parent Permanent Visa
This option offers a direct path to living with your beloved children permanently. While it has a very high cost, it gives your family a much faster entry option compared to the old standard paths.
- Permanent residence granted
- Balance-of-family test required
- Second VAC ~AUD $43,000–$47,000 per adult
- Current queue: applications from ~2018 being processed
Subclass 173
Contributory Parent Temporary Visa
This is a temporary option often referred to as the contributory aged parent visa for older relatives. It allows your family to split the massive final government fees over two separate stages easily.
- Arrive sooner — 2-year temporary visa
- Smaller first-stage contribution
- Balance owed at 143 permanent stage
- Live and work in Australia immediately
Subclass 103
Non-contributory Parent Visa
This is a basic aged parent visa that comes with a very low initial processing cost. However, the official waiting line is incredibly long and simply not practical for most modern families.
- Very low application fee
- The queue is currently 30+ years for new lodgements
- The same balance-of-family test applies
- Not a practical option for most families
