The Minister for Immigration in Australia has confirmed by way of Legislative Instrument 15/111 that the maximum total number of visas that can be granted for the year to 30th June 2016 under subclass 103 (Parent) and 804 (Aged Parent) will be 1,550.

This is the same number of visas as was permitted for the previous financial year.

We invite those interested in the number of available non Contributory Parent visas each year to also read our previous blog on the expected processing time for subclass 804 visa applications.
