You may be eligible to migrate to Australia under the Family Migration Scheme if you have a family member or relative who is over 18 years old, an Australian citizen or permanent resident, living in Australia, and who wishes to sponsor you. The visa classes include:

1. Partners: e.g. spouse (married or de facto) and fiance.

2. Parent: You are eligible to apply for parent visa if your have no less than 50% of your children (including adopted) who are Australian citizens and/or permanent residents and wish and are able to sponsor you. Normal parent visa application could take many years. But contributory parent visa is processed much quicker (several months) if you or your children can pay extra AU$25,000 bond.

3. Child: A parent can sponsor his/her child (including adopted) who is under 18 years old or dependent on you.

4. Remaining Relative: Normally the relative must have no close ties in your usual resident country outside Australia, or be single, widowed, divorced or formally separated and are dependent on the sponsor.

5. Carer: The applicant intends to give substantial, continuing assistance to the sponsor or other family member who has a medical condition that impairs their ability to look after themselves and will need your assistance for at least two years.
