Have You Suffered Family Violence from Your Australian Partner?

Do You Have An Ongoing Partner Visa Application And Suffering From Family Violence Or Domestic Abuse?

If you have an ongoing partner visa (Subclass 820/801 or 309/100) application but your relationship has broken down due to family violence or domestic abuse, you may still be eligible for permanent residency in Australia. Family and domestic abuse is a crime in Australia. The Australian government has zero tolerance for family and domestic violence against anyone in the Australian community, even if you are holding a temporary visa (Subclass 820/309).

Family violence or domestic abuse claim is extremely complex and sensitive and there are various requirements and documents that you will need to provide and meet. We encourage anyone who is going through this to contact an immigration lawyer as soon as possible.

We are on standby to assist you. Contact our team of experienced immigration lawyers and agents who have helped numerous clients obtain permanent residency by arguing with the Family Violence provision that existed during the course of the relationship.

If you are currently experiencing or have experienced any of the above behaviours, you may be a victim of family violence. Additionally, if you have an ongoing Partner visa application and your relationship with your partner has broken down because of the family violence behaviours, do not fear. Australian law protects the victim of family violence.

You Can Still Be Granted with the Permanent Partner Visa Even If Your Relationship Has Broken Down

You may still be granted your permanent residency in Australia if you have experienced family violence, and your relationship has ended, if:

you have married your partner while on a Prospective Marriage visa and you have applied for a Partner visa, or
you are awaiting the outcome of your application for a temporary Partner visa, or
you have been granted a temporary Partner visa and you are currently awaiting the outcome of your permanent partner visa.

You will need to provide the Department of Home Affairs with substantial form of material evidence to show that family violence occurred during the course of your relationship.
