The Carer visa (subclass 836) provides an opportunity for individuals already in Australia to obtain permanent residency by offering long-term care for a relative with a significant medical condition. This visa is designed for situations where Australian relatives lack reasonable access to necessary care within the country.
Key Features of the Carer Visa (Subclass 836):
Permanent Residency: Visa holders can live in Australia indefinitely and enjoy the ability to work and study. Additionally, they can travel to and from Australia for five years from the date the visa is granted.
Eligibility Criteria: Applicants must be in Australia when applying and at the time the visa decision is made. They must be sponsored by their relative or the relative's partner. Most importantly, the applicant must provide care for a relative, or a member of the relative's household, who has no reasonable access to care options in Australia.
Considerations for Potential Applicants:
Sponsorship Obligations: Sponsors must be Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens aged 18 or over. They are required to support the applicant during their initial two years in Australia.
Alternative Care Options: Applicants must demonstrate that their relative has no reasonable access to care options in Australia, emphasizing the necessity of their presence.
For those considering the Carer visa, it’s essential to thoroughly understand the eligibility criteria, extended processing times, and application requirements.
