Aged Dependent Relative Visa
“Subclass 838 is a permanent visa for elderly dependent relatives already living in Australia.”
Stay Supported. Stay Secure. Stay Home.
The Subclass 838 Aged Dependent Relative Visa is for elderly relatives who are already in Australia and are financially and physically dependent on an Australian family member. It allows you to remain permanently where your support system already exists.
• No points test or work requirements There is no points system, no occupation list, and no employment requirement. Eligibility is based on genuine dependency and family care.
• Sponsored by your only family support Your sponsor must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen and show they can provide financial and personal support because you have no other close family elsewhere.
• Permanent residency without leaving Australia Once approved, you receive Australian permanent residency while staying onshore, removing the fear of temporary visa expiry.
• Medicare and healthcare security You gain immediate access to Medicare, covering medical needs without heavy financial burden during your later years.
• Travel freedom and citizenship You can travel internationally for up to five years and later apply for Australian citizenship after meeting residency requirements.
This visa ends the stress of ageing on temporary visas. It offers peace of mind, dignity, and permanent belonging, right where your family already cares for you.
