The Turnbull government has recently offered a new pathway for family to reunite. Where parents of Australians who would like to come to Australia to spend an extended period of time with their children. Once the enabling legislation has passed through Federal Parliament, they  will be able to stay for a period of three years after paying a visa application fee of $5,000 or for five years after a payment of $10,000.

Parents will need to pay for comprehensive private health insurance for their stay and their children will accept legal liability for any outstanding public health debt their sponsored parent accrues.
