Benefits of the Aged Parent Visa Subclass 804

With the Aged Parent Visa, you’ll not only enjoy the company of your loved ones, but your parents will also gain access to the many benefits that come with living in Australia.

Stay in Australia Forever

With the Subclass 804 visa, your parents get permanent residency. This means they can live in Australia for as long as they want without needing to renew their visa.

Work and Study Rights

As a permanent resident, they can work or study in Australia. Whether they want to be part of the workforce or simply learn something new, they have the freedom to do so.

Travel Rights

They can travel freely to and from Australia for 5 years with your visa. After that, they can apply for and be granted a Resident Return Visa (RRV) tso that you can re-enter Australia as a permanent resident.

Healthcare Benefits

One of the most significant advantages of applying for a permanent resident in Australia is access to Medicare, the country’s public healthcare system, where they can access medical services and treatment at a lower cost. This means your parents can enrol in Australia’s public healthcare scheme, Medicare.

Sponsor Family Members

Once your parents have obtained permanent residency through the Aged Parent Visa Subclass 804, they can also play a significant role in reuniting with other family members such as children, partners, or dependent family members, to come and live in Australia.

Apply for Australian Citizenship

After living in Australia for a few years, they may be able to apply for Australian citizenship. This gives them extra benefits, e.g. the right to vote and apply for an Australian passport.

These benefits make the Aged Parent Visa Subclass 804 an excellent choice for parents looking to live comfortably and securely in Australia with their family.
