Alan Collett Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Not great news coming out of yesterday's Federal Budget ... "The Partner and Child visa categories are estimated to deliver 40,500 and 3,000 visas respectively (delivery of Partner and Child visas will be subject to demand and visa processing requirements); while 6,000 places will be available for Parent visas; and 500 places for Other Family visas." https://minister.homeaffairs.gov.au/AlexHawke/Pages/2022-23-budget-release.aspx Best regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James354 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Thanks Alan! Is it still higher than 4500 for 2021-2022 though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that's not the question to be asked, in my opinion. Rather, why is the Government not planning to be back at the pre Covid level for parent visa grants in 2022/23?

Alan Collett Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 ... indeed, why isn't the parent visa program also "demand driven" ...? From the above web link to the Minister's Media Release: Granting Partner visas on a demand driven basis will provide the flexibility to meet demand for Partner visas in a given program year, and assist in mitigating future growth in the Partner visa pipeline, while maintaining immigration integrity.

wrussell Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 They would not recognise integrity if it sprang up and bit them on the bum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
