Family Visa

Australian Family Visas

Australia places great value on family unity, and its immigration program includes a broad range of family visa pathways beyond partner and parent categories. From child visas to carer visas, the family stream addresses the diverse circumstances of families seeking to reunite in Australia. A2B Visa & Education Services assists Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens in sponsoring eligible family members through the appropriate visa pathway.

Family Visa Categories We Assist With

• Child Visa (Subclass 101 / 802): For biological children, adopted children, and step-children of Australian citizens or eligible residents who are dependent and not yet permanent residents.
• Adoption Visa (Subclass 102): For children being adopted by Australian citizens under a bilateral adoption arrangement.
• Orphan Relative Visa (Subclass 117 / 837): For a child who is an orphan or whose parents are unable to care for them, with an Australian relative willing to provide care.
• Remaining Relative Visa (Subclass 115 / 835): For those whose only near relatives in the world are Australian residents, enabling family unity.
• Carer Visa (Subclass 116 / 836): For relatives who wish to come to Australia to provide ongoing care to an Australian resident with a medical condition that significantly affects daily life.
• Aged Dependent Relative Visa (Subclass 114 / 838): For elderly relatives who are completely dependent on an Australian citizen or resident and have no other close family in their home country.

Eligibility Overview

Eligibility varies by subclass but generally requires a genuine family relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen who is willing and able to act as sponsor. Financial and character requirements for both sponsor and applicant are assessed by the Department of Home Affairs. Processing times vary widely — some family visa categories are subject to annual caps and may have extended waiting periods.

Our Process

We identify the correct visa subclass for your family situation, advise on realistic processing timelines and costs, and prepare complete and compelling applications on your behalf. We also help sponsors understand their obligations and manage communication with the Department throughout the process.
