Aged Parent and Parent Visa

Parent Visa Applications are a low priority and the current number of Parent Visa Applications exceeds the number of places available.

Applications for Parent Visas (except Contributory Parent Visas) are held in a queue for approximately 20 years before being processed. Then the processing time is generally 9 to 12 months after the queuing process.

Contributory Parent Visa

This visa has been made available by the Australian Government for those applicants who are able to contribute an additional charge to cover health costs. This visa type then entitles the application to 'priority processing', substantially reducing the processing time.

The processing time is generally 12 to 24 months.
