Parents may be able to migrate to Australia using a Parent Visa if they have a child in Australia who is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.

There are 2 categories of Parent Visas:

Parent Category
To apply for migration to Australia as a parent, you must be sponsored. Generally you will be sponsored by your child, who must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Contributory Parent
The Contributory Parent Visa category was introduced in mid-2003 to allow the expansion of the Parent Migration Program on the basis that applicants pay a higher visa application charge and a larger Assurance of Support (AoS) bond (with a longer AoS period).
