Concession Parent Visa Subclass 103, 143, 173

29/01/2021The Australian Government has announced visa changes to support applicants in Family visa subclasses.

• Due to the COVID-19 crisis and travel restrictions, for parents who would like to extend their stay in Australia they may be able to submit their 870 visa without leaving Australia subject to the Parent Processing Centre approval, which has been lenient with these waiver requests during COVID-19 period.

• DHA is pursuing changes to allow Parent visa applicants who have applied for their visa outside Australia to be granted that visa while in Australia during the COVID-19 period

  This temporary concession would apply to subclasses 

  • Parent (subclass 103) visa
  • Contributory Parent (subclass 173) visa
  • Contributory Parent (subclass 143) visa
