Who can sponsor?
A sponsor for applicants applying for a Parent category visa,
Contributory Parent category visa, Aged Dependent Relative
visa, Remaining Relative visa or Carer visa, must be:
• aged 18 years or over; and
• an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or an
eligible New Zealand citizen; and
• a relative of the applicant or if specified in the eligibility
criteria for the relevant visa class, a cohabiting partner of
the relative of the applicant; and
• be settled and resident in Australia at the time the
application is lodged.
Settled
‘Settled’ (in relation to an Australian citizen, an Australian
permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen) means
lawfully resident in Australia for a reasonable period. Under
policy, the ‘reasonable period’ is at least 2 years. Periods of
lawful temporary residence may be counted towards the
‘settled’ requirement, depending on the circumstances of that
temporary residence. The ‘settled’ requirement is assessed at
the time the visa application is lodged.
However, when assessing whether or not a person is settled,
regard is given to the facts of each case. For example, a shorter
period of lawful residence (at least 3 months) may be
considered for Australian citizens for sponsorship purposes if:
• there are compassionate and compelling circumstances; or
• the Australian citizen, having resided overseas for a lengthy
period, has returned to Australia and wishes to sponsor
family members.
Temporary absence from Australia would not necessarily
preclude a person from meeting the requirement to be
settled. However, the person must be able to demonstrate
that the absence was/is temporary and that they have
maintained their residence in Australia. |
