Thanks so much for your quick reply. I will message him now. Just FYI - I have been on hold to immigration to ask them this question, we started as number 154 in the queue. Waited on hold for over two hours - just got answered and they said...drum roll....we are only here to tell you the same as the website, you need to use an immigration agent!!

First time on this forum in a decade - someone please direct me to the right place if this isn't it! We are trying to move my mother in law to live with us. My husband and I are both originally from the UK and successfully migrated here 10 years ago. We are now both dual citizens. My mother in law has depression and is a very lonely lady, living in the UK all by herself. We want to help her move out here - she currently has a house with about GBP200K equity in it if she sells. My husband has a brother (lives in Dubai with a high pressure job and a small baby) and a sister (lives in the UK, is much younger, cannot handle the stress of looking after her mum) so its really up to us to look after her as the other two are totally unable. However, from our initial investigations into visas it seems that because she wont pass the family test (ie. only one of her 3 children live in Australia) that there is no other way to get her out here - is that correct? Open to all suggestions and info - thanks in advance for all your help!
