Family stream migrants must be sponsored or nominated by a close family member or fiancée living in Australia. The sponsor must be either an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, and would usually be 18 years of age or older. Family Stream migrants are selected on the basis of their family relationship with their sponsor or nominator in Australia; there is no test for skills or language ability as for Skilled Stream migrants. Like all migrants, Family Stream applicants are assessed on an individual basis and they MUST be assessed against Australia's health and character requirements.

Family Stream applicants can be sponsored for migration (or nominated for permanent residence)* in one of the following visa categories:

· Partner
· Spouse
· Prospective Marriage (Fiancé)
· Interdependency
· Child
· Dependent Child
· Adoption
· Orphan Relative
· Parent
· Working Age and Aged Parent
· Designated Parent
· Other Family
· Aged Dependent Relative
· Remaining Relative
· Care
