Skilled 189 visa - secondary applicant

[AmandaS]

Hello

My partner and I had our skilled permanent visa (189) granted in December 2016 and have been living & working in Aus since. I was the secondary applicant for this.

If we were to break up, does anybody know if I need to inform the DIBP of the change in relationship status? And what if anything it could mean for my own Visa status?? 

Thanks

It makes no difference. When visas are granted, everyone gets their own visa independent of each other regardless of who is the main applicant.
