Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 804)

The Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 804) allows parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to move to Australia permanently. This visa is specifically designed for older parents who meet the age criteria defined by the Australian government.

To qualify as an ‘aged’ applicant under this visa, the primary applicant must be of pension age at the time of lodging the application. As of now, the qualifying pension age in Australia is 67 years. However, the required age can vary based on your date of birth and the time you submit your application.

Does Medicare cover applicants during 804 visa processing?
If you are from a country that has a reciprocal health care agreement with Australia, you may be able to access Medicare while your visa is being processed. Otherwise, you will need to arrange for private health insurance during this period.

Is it possible to include a partner in the 804 visa application?
Yes. You are allowed to include your partner as part of your application for the 804 visa.
