This web page brings together information regarding the processing date of parent visa applications.
The following information is based on details updated by the Parent Visa Centre on 15/12/2021
Parent Visa Application Assessment Dates
The following parent visa applications are being assessed – ie these parent visa applicants are being requested to undertake medicals, to provide police clearance certificates, and (in the case of the permanent visa subclasses) to progress the Assurance of Support:
Subclasses 143 and 173: queued up to June 2016
Subclasses 864 and 884: queued up to June 2016
Subclass 103: queued up to October 2010

The time taken for a visa application to be finalized and visas granted once an application is assessed can vary significantly.
Factors that are relevant include:
- The time taken to provide all required police clearance certificates.
- Medical conditions that require the submission of additional information before the health requirement is saitisfied.
- Concluding the Assurance of Support process with Centrelink.
- The time of year: towards the end of a program year (ending on 30th of June) parent visa applications can be placed on hold, to allow for the new year’s parent visa allocation to become available.
