Can a relative sponsor family member?

Hii 

Is it possible to sponsor relative under 491

[InnerVoice]

Yes, if you're an eligible family member. I would reach out to one of the registered migration agents on this site for some professional advice.

Who qualifies as an “Eligible Family Member” under the 491 subclass Visa?

To be eligible to sponsor a 491 visa applicant, the sponsor must be:

• 18 years of age or older;
• usually resident in a designated regional area of Australia;
• an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen; and
• an eligible relative of you or your partner.

An eligible relative can be one of the following:

• a parent
• a child or step-child
• a brother, sister, adoptive brother, adoptive sister, step-brother or step-sister
• an aunt, uncle, adoptive aunt, adoptive uncle, step-aunt or step-uncle
• a nephew, niece, adoptive nephew, adoptive niece, step-nephew or step-niece
• a grandparent, or
• a first cousin

In determining whether the sponsor is usually resident in a designated regional area of Australia, the Department will consider the sponsor’s actual physical residence, that is, where the sponsor physically sleeps and has their usual abode.
