🇦🇺 HAVE FAMILY IN REGIONAL AUSTRALIA? YOU MAY CLAIM 15 EXTRA POINTS FOR SUBCLASS 491!

Are you planning to migrate to Australia through the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)? Having an eligible family member in a designated regional area of Australia may help you claim 15 additional points under the family-sponsored pathway.

✅ Who may qualify as an eligible relative?
• Parent or child/stepchild
• Brother or sister
• Grandparent
• Aunt or uncle
• Nephew or niece
• First cousin

📌 Key requirements to understand:
✔️ Your sponsor must be at least 18 years old.
✔️ They must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
✔️ They must usually reside in a designated regional area of Australia.
✔️ You must meet the applicable age, occupation, skills assessment, English language and points-test requirements.

⚠️ Important: The 15 points are available only when the family sponsorship meets the legal requirements and is accepted by the Minister. You generally need at least 65 points to meet the minimum points threshold, but reaching 65 points does not guarantee an invitation.

Before choosing your Australian skilled migration pathway, check your eligibility, family relationship and sponsor’s regional residence carefully.

🇦🇺 AUSTRALIA STUDENT VISA PROCESSING PRIORITIES | SUBCLASS 500

Are you planning to study in Australia? Understanding the Australian Student Visa (Subclass 500) processing priorities can help you understand how the Department of Home Affairs prioritises offshore student visa applications.

Under Ministerial Direction 115, the Department uses three processing priority levels:

🔹 Priority 1: Higher-priority applications
🔹 Priority 2: Standard-priority applications
🔹 Priority 3: Lower-priority applications

⏳ Indicative processing commencement targets:
• Priority 1: 1–4 weeks
• Priority 2: 5–8 weeks
• Priority 3: 9–12 weeks

These timeframes indicate when processing is targeted to commence, not when a visa decision will be made. They are indicative only and may change.

Your priority level does not guarantee visa approval. Every application must meet the relevant Student visa requirements.

📌 Save this update if you are planning to apply for an Australian Student Visa, and share it with someone preparing to study in Australia.

For the official guidance, visit the Department of Home Affairs website:
