Family Migration
Family life is an integral part of Australian culture, so the Migration Act has
made it possible for Australian Citizens, Permanent Residents or Eligible New
Zealand Citizens to sponsor their children, partners, parents, and siblings to
live temporarily or permanently in Australia.
Partner Visas – Live in Australia with Your Loved One
Australian Citizens, Permanent Residents, or Eligible New Zealand Citizens can
sponsor their partner to live in Australia. This includes spouses, fiancé(e)s, de
facto partners, and same-sex partners. Partner visas are designed to keep
families together and provide a pathway to permanent residency.
Types of Partner Visas
