The Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143) allows parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live permanently in Australia. This visa provides faster processing compared to non-contributory parent visas but involves a higher application charge. Once granted, parents receive permanent residency with full work rights, access to Medicare, and the ability to travel freely in and out of Australia. It is ideal for families wishing to reunite permanently and build their future together in Australia.
