Subclass 116 Carer Visa

The subclass 116 Carer visa allows someone living outside the country to move to Australia to care for a relative in Australia, with a long-term or permanent medical condition.

The processing time for the subclass 116 Carer visa is quite long so eligible applicants should endeavour to travel to Australia on a temporary visa and apply for a subclass 836 Carer visa while in Australia.

This will enable them to remain in Australia while their application is processed.
