Subclass 838, 114
Aged Dependent Relative visa
Aged Dependent Relative visa allows an elderly, dependent relative to live permanently in Australia. The sponsor must be an eligible Australian citizen, permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen. As there is high demand for this family migration visa and a very limited number of allocations, processing of this visa is subject to capping and queuing arrangements and in accordance with any relevant Ministerial Directions. The visa processing is also considered in two stages.
Bridging visa A may be provided for applications made onshore (in Australia), and the applicant can remain lawfully in Australia while the application is processed. If you are given a Bridging visa A, you can apply for a Bridging Visa B to travel outside Australia while you wait for a decision.
