The Carer Visa (Subclass 116) offers a pathway for individuals in Australia to bring a carer from overseas to provide substantial and long-term care for someone with special needs. This visa is particularly beneficial when no suitable care is available in Australia.
Are you having trouble finding a suitable carer to care for a loved one with special needs? You may consider bringing a carer from overseas by applying for a Carer visa (subclass 116).
The Carer visa application involves a stringent process with multiple criteria that must be met by both the sponsor and applicant, in order to become satisfactory under the Immigration Department’s assessment.
Please kindly read the following information on the requirements involved for a Carer visa application.
When considering applying for a Carer Visa, it’s essential to understand that the applicant must be willing and able to provide the necessary care. The care recipient must have a long-term or permanent medical condition that requires assistance with daily tasks, health care, or both. The sponsor, typically a family member or guardian of the care recipient, must prove that the care needed cannot be reasonably obtained in Australia, whether through social services or family support.
