Types of Parent Visas Available in Canberra

Parent Visa Pathways for Families Living in Canberra

Bringing parents to live permanently in Australia

Permanent parent migration can be sponsored by a settled Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, subject to strict eligibility conditions. In most cases, the sponsoring child must have been living in Australia for at least two years before becoming eligible to sponsor a parent.

Temporary parent visa options while waiting for permanent visas

Certain contributory pathways include a temporary visa stage, sometimes described as a parent temporary visa, allowing parents to remain in Australia while a permanent visa application is under assessment. This provides a means for parents to stay in the country throughout processing as they progress from temporary to permanent status.

Sponsoring parents while living in Canberra

A Canberra-based sponsor who has resided in Australia for at least two years may be in a position to support a parent's visa application, provided sponsorship and financial criteria are satisfied. Sponsorship is capped at two parents per approved sponsor.

Meet With Our Canberra Parent Visa Lawyers

Many families weighing up a parent visa prefer to discuss their options directly with a lawyer, rather than working through the pathways alone. Our Canberra office offers in-person consultations for families who would rather talk through their circumstances face to face.

During this first meeting, a migration lawyer will explain the pathway options available to your family, including the contributory versus non-contributory decision and what it means for cost and waiting time. Fees are agreed in advance, giving you clarity on cost before any work commences.

Families who are unable to attend in person can access the same consultation online, with no difference in the guidance provided.

Health and character requirements

Health and character standards, including medical assessments and police clearances, must be met by every applicant.

Assurance of Support obligations

Sponsors are frequently required to provide an Assurance of Support, intended to help ensure the applicant does not need to rely on government support.

Identity and passport documents

A valid passport and other personal identification documents are required from applicants.

Proof of relationship with the sponsoring child

Evidence establishing the parent-child relationship must be provided in accordance with migration requirements.

Benefits of Using a Canberra Parent Visa Lawyer

Deciding between the contributory and non-contributory pathways carries genuine financial and timing implications, and this decision is not always easy for families to work through unassisted. A lawyer can explain what each option means in practical terms for your family's specific circumstances.

Getting the eligibility criteria and supporting documentation right from the start also matters a great deal, given how long some pathways take to reach a decision. Addressing potential gaps early can prevent issues from surfacing only after years of waiting.

Our Canberra team supports families across the full parent visa journey, from selecting a pathway through to lodgement and ongoing case management. Contact our Canberra office to discuss your family's circumstances.

Costs Involved When Applying for a Parent Visa in Canberra

Pasukan Peguam Migrasi Australia

Government parent visa application fees

Where an Assurance of Support is required, sponsors or approved assurers may need to provide a bank guarantee or term deposit. As at 1 July 2026, an individual assurer's bond is $5,000 for the primary applicant plus $2,000 per adult secondary applicant on the Subclass 103 or 804, rising to $10,000 plus $4,000 per adult secondary applicant on the Subclass 143 or 864. The Subclass 143 and 864 carry a 10-year assurance obligation period, compared with 2 years for the Subclass 103 and 804.

Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of the matter and the level of support required.

Health checks and documentation costs

Applicants may need to budget for medical examinations, police clearances, and other supporting documentation.

Parent Visa Processing Times in Canberra

Factors affecting parent visa processing

Processing timeframes are shaped by the visa subclass, the volume of applications in the system, and individual circumstances.

Typical waiting periods for contributory and non-contributory visas

Contributory pathways are generally processed more quickly than non-contributory pathways, which can involve substantially longer waiting periods.
