CARER 836 VISA & 116 VISA
The Carer Visa is a provision that enables Australian citizens and permanent residents with disabilities to bring their relatives to Australia for permanent residency to assist them.
Given the limited slots in the migration program for this visa category, applicants may experience extended waiting periods.
To be eligible for either a 116 or 836 visa, you must:
- Have an eligible sponsor
- Parents
- Children
- Siblings
- Aunts and uncles
- Nieces and nephews
- Grandparents or grandchildren This includes half-relatives, step-relatives, and adopted relatives. The partner of any of the above relatives is also eligible to sponsor.
For an Aged Dependent Relative visa sponsorship, the sponsor must be over 18 and “settled” in Australia, which typically means residing in Australia for at least the past 2 years.
Relative in Need of Care
The visa applicant must be sponsored to provide care for the Australian relative or a member of the relative’s family unit. The need for care must be demonstrated for at least the next 2 years. Before applying, the person requiring care must be evaluated by an approved doctor as needing care due to a specific medical condition. The relative must show a condition resulting in an impairment of at least 30/100 and as a result, requires assistance with daily care.
It must also be demonstrated that the required assistance cannot reasonably be provided by other Australian relatives or by Australian health or community services.
Note: There are no age restrictions for this visa type
