This instrument sets the maximum number of Contributory Parent visas, Parent visas, and Other Family visas that can be granted during the financial year 2025-26. The specific maximum numbers are not detailed in the provided text but are established by sections 5, 6, and 7 of the instrument.

Overview

The Department of Home Affairs has issued a new instrument establishing the maximum number of Contributory Parent, Parent, and Other Family visas for the 2025-26 financial year. This instrument, effective from 11 June 2026, until 30 June 2026, will govern the availability of these specific family stream visas. It replaces previous regulations, ensuring clarity and control over migration numbers in these categories.

Explained simply

Australia has set a limit on how many 'parent' and 'other family' visas it will give out between July 2025 and June 2026. This means if you want your parents or other specific family members to move to Australia, there's only a certain number of spots available for that year.
