What is a Subclass 116 visa?
The Subclass 116 visa, known as the Carer Visa, allows individuals to migrate to Australia to provide substantial care for a relative with a long-term medical condition. It typically leads to permanent residency, provided sponsorship and eligibility criteria are met.
Benefits of holding a Carer visa
The benefits of holding a Subclass 116 visa (Carer Visa) in Australia:
- Permanent Residency: Provides a pathway to live in Australia indefinitely.
- Caregiving Opportunity: Enables individuals to care for a relative with a medical condition.
- Access to Services: Includes healthcare and social services support.
- Work Rights: Allows holders to work in Australia without restrictions.
- Pathway to Citizenship: Eligibility to apply for Australian citizenship after meeting residency requirements.

Among the Family visas, to apply for Carer visa, both the sponsor and the applicant need to meet the following conditions:
- Sponsorship: You must be sponsored by an eligible relative in Australia who requires your care due to a long-term medical condition.
- Health and Character: You and your family members must meet health and character requirements.
- Financial Support: The sponsor for Carer visa must provide an assurance of financial support and accommodation for you during your stay in Australia.
