All applications for Other Family visas will need to be sent by post or courier service to the Perth Visa and Citizenship Office. You will no longer be able to lodge your application at one of our overseas offices or contracted Service Delivery Partners. This includes:

Carer (subclass 116 and 836) visas,
Remaining Relative (subclass 115 and 835) visas, and
Aged Dependent Relative (subclass 114 and 838) visas.

Online lodgement is not currently available for Other Family visas, completed forms must be sent to the processing office in Perth.

Unfinalised applications which were lodged at an overseas office are currently being transferred to the Perth processing office, applicants will be notified when their application has been transferred.
