In summary:

  • A maximum of 6,800 Contributory Parent visas can be granted between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025
  • Of this number no more than 112 can be granted to what are known as pathway applicants, being applicants who hold subclass 410 or 405 visas
  • A maximum of 1,700 non-Contributory Parent visas can be granted between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025
  • Of this number no more than 13 can be granted to pathway applicants, these again being those applicants who hold subclass 410 or 405 visas

These numbers do not include subclass 870 Sponsored Parent Temporary visas, and are in line with the capped number of parent visas in the last couple of years.

Our last blog at the end of January advised details of the number of parent visas granted; we will be posting again in the next few weeks with updated details of the number of parent visas that have been granted.
