Evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship is central. Well-prepared applications reduce delays.
Why partner & family visas matters
Partner visas keep families together. Applications are costly and evidence-heavy, so getting them right first time matters.
The Australian context
Partner visas are usually a two-stage process, temporary then permanent. Applicants must show a genuine and continuing relationship, and sponsors must meet sponsorship requirements.

Understand the next step
A practical guide to partner & family visas
What to discuss at the first meeting
Describe the proposed pathway and relationship history without assuming eligibility from the relationship alone. Ask which evidence is relevant to the particular application.
Confirm professional and government charges separately and do not rely on a promised outcome.
How the engagement may progress
01
Gather identity documents, visa records, decision letters and application history. Confirm who will give the advice and their scope of work.
02
Ask which requirements and evidence need assessment, including translations or reports. No provider can guarantee the application outcome.
03
Agree who receives correspondence and tracks requests. Keep a complete copy of lodged material and understand what you approve before submission.
Fees and the scope of work
Separate professional fees from government charges, translations and other expenses. Preparing an application does not necessarily include a review or court proceeding.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Dates to raise at first contact
Provide expiry dates and the entire decision letter immediately. Review rights and dates depend on the particular decision and circumstances.
Questions to ask a partner & family visas adviser
What evidence needs assessment or clarification?
Does the scope cover requests for additional information?
How can I verify your professional status?
Does the scope include further-information requests or review work?
Who monitors correspondence and urgent dates?
Directory guidance updated 19 September 2026. General information to help you prepare for a conversation with a professional; not advice about your individual matter. Check current requirements with the relevant authority.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What evidence is needed?
Financial, social and household evidence, and statements about the relationship's history and commitment.
Lawyer or migration agent?
Both can prepare and lodge visa applications. For refusals, cancellations and court appeals, or where there are criminal or character issues, an immigration lawyer is usually the better choice.
What can I do if my visa is refused?
Many refusals can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal, but strict and short deadlines apply. Get advice as soon as you receive the decision.
