IMPACT – LOW
What is the change? The Australian Government is seeking public feedback on a proposal to develop a new visa for parents of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens.
What does the change mean? The matters raised in the public submissions will assist the Australian Government in the finalisation of policy settings for the new visa. The new temporary parent visa is expected to become available to eligible applicants in July 2017.
Background: The invitation for comments on the proposed new temporary parent visa stems from a commitment that was made by the current Federal Government in the lead up to the most recent Australian federal election.
BAL Analysis: The introduction of a new temporary parent visa will provide a new visa option for many people who are parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens, and would like to visit family members in Australia for extended periods of time.
