Aged Parent Visa

Subclass 804

The Subclass 804 (Aged Parent) visa is a permanent visa for individuals who are aged parents of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. This visa category allows aged parents to live in Australia permanently and access government-funded health care and social security benefits.

By working with a migration agent, our customers can benefit from a higher success rate in their visa application, as we have a deep understanding of the requirements and eligibility criteria for this visa category. Our team can help our customers understand the process and requirements, prepare and lodge the visa application, and provide ongoing support throughout the process.

As the visa applicant, you must:

  • have a child who is an eligible Australian citizen, permanent resident, or New Zealand citizen (see below)
  • meet the ‘balance of family’ test. This requires that at least half of your children reside in Australia, or that more of your children reside in Australia than in any other single country
  • be old enough to qualify for the Australian age pension, meaning 66−67 years old (depending upon your date of birth)

Your Australian child must:

  • be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen
  • be settled in Australia (generally this means that your child must have resided in Australia for at least two years)
  • be at least 18 years old, and willing to sponsor your application

Note: You may instead be sponsored by your child’s spouse or de facto partner, provided that this person meets the above requirements. Alternatively, if your child is under 18, you may in some circumstances be sponsored by a relative or guardian of your child, or by a community organisation.

  • undertake to provide you with any necessary financial and accommodation support for the first two years that you live in Australia


One of the biggest benefits of working with us is that we can help solve any problems that may arise during the application process. Our migration agents are experienced in dealing with the Department of Home Affairs and can provide guidance on the best way to resolve any issues that may arise.

Furthermore, by using our services, customers can have peace of mind knowing that their visa application is in safe hands and that all necessary documentation will be completed accurately and efficiently. Our team will ensure that the visa application is submitted with the best possible chances of success.

Overall, if you are looking to bring your aged parents to Australia permanently, our Aged Parent visa services can help you achieve your goal. Our experienced migration agents will provide you with the support and guidance you need to successfully navigate the visa application process and reunite your family in Australia.
