Address change after PR grant

[EurotoAus]

Hi Guys, 

Quick one. Been in Australia 6 months now after PR grant. 
Do I need to keep DIBP informed of change of address? 

Conflicting information around.

Thank you in advance :)

I've just had to do this as it is a requirement of the visa.

Do you use an Immi Online account? If so you can log in and update in both places so you're covered - 

1. 'Manage Account' link on the top right - update address here

2. On the front page (Applications view), click on 'View Details' on your finalised 186 app listed here. Then submit the change using the 'Update Details' (left menu) and the 'Update address details' app.

Hope this helps! If your apps have been paper based i'd presume there'd be an equivalent form, but not 100% sure.

No..........

Thank you both. Reason I ask is because on form: 1022, it says

You do not have to notify the Department of any changes in your

circumstances that occurred:

• after you were granted your visa (if you applied for your visa in

Australia); or

• after you have been immigration cleared (if you applied for

your visa outside Australia).

Address no unless on a regional visa that requires it.

Your passport, yes as the visa is attached to it and will need to be transferred.

If in the process of citizenship application you should notify any changes after applying.
