Parent visa

[Nairnandtain]

Hi,

I am looking for some advice around how to get my parents to Australia permanently. Their only living relatives are in Australia and we originally thought they could come over on a tourist visa ( this was pre COVID!) now we are being advised that they should apply offshore for a parent visa. We understand that things won’t get moving until the COVID situation improves. The other query was around Medicare and if they can access Medicare whilst they are here?

I had a consultation with an agent but tbh they were not very helpful and told me to access the department of health websites etc. 

 

thanks,

Shelley

Some parent visas have Medicare eligibility and some do not.

You are eligible for Medicare if you hold any of the following visas:

• Contributory Parent visas (subclasses 173, 143, 884, 864)
