Hi Kath! Sure can! Here is a copy and paste from my blog post on GM Parent Visas (suitably edited). The Migration Amendment (Family Violence and Other Measures) Bill 2016 has at long last had its second reading in the Senate, and was passed this morning. Some will recall that this is the legislation that the Federal Government considers is required to pass into law before the long awaited temporary parent visa can become available. We are anticipating the Bill will become law this week, at which point we can reasonably expect the new temporary parent visa pathway will open. Hopefully this will be prior to the Parliament rising for the Christmas recess. The legislation as drafted requires the approval of a sponsor before a visa application is lodged. The Bill now returns to the House of Representatives for a vote. If the Bill passes the House without any amendments it should receive Royal Assent and become law, after which the drafting of regulations will be necessary to give it practical effect. Those who are interested in progressing an application for the new temporary parent visa with our help should feel able to send a PM or an email to me. Best regards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathss56 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I wonder if the approval of a sponsor will take Centrelink 6-8 mths like ours. If they get priorty it may possibly delay other Parent visas? Doubt they have extra staff for the 20000? they estimate may apply. However, it is good news though for those desperate to be with their families. Edited November 28, 2018 by Kathss56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sponsorship approval is done by the Department of Home Affairs - this is not the same process as for the AoS. Best regards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob007 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 the 600 visa is a 12 month holiday visa, we chose to apply for this one hopping our 143 would be granted with in that time, as we applied in June 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However seeing what has been happening; I think it could be another 10 years... The ever shifting ending is making me lean more towards getting a subclass 600 visa to tide them over.

Marilyn Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 22 hours ago, LindaH27 said: @Marilyn can you do me a favour? Have a look at the criteria for 600 as I can’t see anything that relates to 173 or 143 visa applicants. Seems to imply either you haven’t already applied for a parent visa or you’ve applied for 103? Obviously will dictate whether I try for it or not! HI its a tourist visa and I got info from others in this forum who applied in 2015 and are currently in Australia on an 143 so that was my thought of doing the same in the New Year.

SusieRoo Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Good news regarding the new temp visa. Has anyone got a link the relevant Home Affairs website page? There used to be a dedicated page, but it’s now disappeared. I think I am right in saying your child needs to get sponsorship approval first, before you can apply formally for a new visa. And this is all done online via an immi account. Any info would be appreciated as I guess the first years 15k places are going to be snapped up quickly.

Appears they have to fund anything health related even aged care if necessary. ? Maybe similar income as AoS I would have thought. With the annual cost of private ins (mine is £800 per yr) it’s a very expensive visa. Especially when you can get a 600 valid for up to 3 yrs, makes me think they won’t issue any 600’s without the 12 in 18mth stay condition in the future. if it’s whilst you await a 143 I think it’s best to wait it out if you can or do a 600 in my opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hasten to add that this does not mean there won't be such a requirement. Until the Department's people in Canberra start drafting/publish the regulations one can never be certain as to what will eventuate ...
