Parent visa numbers – Program year ended 30th June 2026

As is customary Australia’s Immigration Minister has capped the number of parent visas that can be granted by the Department of Home Affairs in the current program year ending on 30 June 2026.

In summary:

  • A maximum of 6,800 Contributory Parent visas can be granted between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026
  • A maximum of 1,700 non-Contributory Parent visas can be granted between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026

These are the same numbers as were available in the previous program year to 30 June 2025.

These numbers do not include subclass 870 Sponsored Parent Temporary visas.

We await details from Home Affairs of the number of visas that have been granted already, and will post a blog as soon as we have this information to hand.
