A Faster Pathway to Reunite with Your Family in Australia
The Subclass 143 Contributory Parent Visa provides a priority pathway for parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to obtain permanent residency in Australia. Unlike the non-contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 103), this option offers significantly faster processing in exchange for higher visa fees.
Key Benefits of the Subclass 143 Visa
✅ Permanent residency with full living, working, and study rights
✅ Access to Medicare and social services
✅ Pathway to Australian citizenship (after residency requirements)
✅ Include your partner in the application
