The Sponsored Family stream (subclass 600) is for Indian citizens visiting close relatives — parents, siblings, children — who are Australian citizens or permanent residents. The Australian relative acts as 'sponsor', submitting an invitation and financial undertaking. The Department may require an Assurance of Support (a formal financial undertaking, sometimes backed by a bond).
What it costs
Paid directly to Australia / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per immi.homeaffairs.gov.au, last verified 19 Apr 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
All Visa Application Charges (VAC) are set in Australian Dollars by the Department of Home Affairs and paid online via ImmiAccount using international credit card. The INR amount depends on the credit card's conversion rate on payment day — not controlled by the Australian government. Additional costs include: health check (~₹4,500–6,000), police clearance certificate from PSK (~₹500), biometrics (₹1,850), and any translation costs for non-English documents. Fees are non-refundable regardless of visa outcome. Use the Visa Pricing Estimator on homeaffairs.gov.au for current rates. An Assurance of Support (AoS) bond, if required, is an additional refundable security — typically several thousand AUD depending on the applicant's age and stay duration.

Australia assesses genuine temporary intent — the bookings matter less than the reason you are coming back.
0 of 4 are compulsory for Australia
Where people slip: Applying with open-ended dates. "Genuine temporary entrant" is the test, and open dates argue against you.
Book for ₹708 (+₹472 per family member)Where people slip: Listing a family address with no evidence of who lives there.
Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Skipping it entirely at 65 or over. If a medical examination is triggered, cover strengthens the file.
Where people slip: An itinerary longer than the leave your employer approved in writing.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Australia file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.
Flight reservation ₹708 (+₹472 per extra family member) · Confirmed hotel booking ₹590 per hotel · Travel itinerary ₹1,499. GST included.
Delivery. Usually within 30 minutes during office hours, Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00 IST. Confirmed hotel bookings are not bought online: message us first on WhatsApp or email info@sureshotvisa.com with the city, dates and travellers.

Parents' marriage certificate, sibling birth certificates — whatever proves the relationship.
Helpful supporting evidence.

Required · optional / if applicable
7 steps from intake to approval — never as linear as government sites pretend.
Sponsor lodges Form 1149 via ImmiAccount
The Australian relative sponsor starts the process by creating their own ImmiAccount and lodging Form 1149 (Sponsorship for a Sponsored Family Visitor visa). This is submitted BEFORE the applicant's visa application.
Department approves sponsorship (or asks for AoS)
If the Department requires an Assurance of Support, the sponsor lodges an AoS through Centrelink, which may include a refundable bond.
Applicant lodges visa application via ImmiAccount
Applicant creates own ImmiAccount and selects Visitor (subclass 600) — Sponsored Family stream. Reference the sponsor's approved sponsorship.
Upload applicant documents
Passport, photo, relationship evidence, cover letter, bank statements, ITRs, flight bookings.
Pay AUD 250 VAC online
By international credit/debit card.

Frequently asked
An Australian citizen or permanent resident aged 18+ who is a close relative — parent, spouse, child, sibling, grandparent, step-parent, or similar. Temporary visa holders cannot sponsor.
An AoS is a formal legal undertaking by the sponsor (or a third party) to financially support the visitor and repay any social security payments the visitor may claim. For parents, the Department may require an AoS with a refundable bond. It is lodged via Centrelink, not the Department of Home Affairs.
Typically 3–6 months — longer than Tourist stream because two applications (sponsorship + visitor) are assessed.
No. Parent visas are permanent migration categories with multi-year processing. The Sponsored Family stream is still a Visitor visa — for temporary visits only, not permanent residence.
Yes, but the Department scrutinises the sponsor's capacity to support multiple simultaneous visitors. Strong financials help.
You can still apply — the Department considers overall capacity, not just income. Assets, joint sponsor (if allowed), and shared household help. Modest income may trigger an AoS request.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, VFS, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same Australia rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
