Bringing Mum or Dad to Australia starts with choosing the right pathway.
Join Registered Migration Agent Gary Grewal live for one evening. He'll lay out every Parent Visa option, what each one costs, how long it really takes, and what to weigh before your family commits.
Reserve My Seat for $19 Every Wednesday · 7:00 pm Melbourne time · Live on Microsoft Teams · No replayHi, I'm Gary.
I'm a migrant myself. India, then New Zealand, and now an Australian citizen. I've also sat on the other side of this decision within my own family, so I understand it from both sides of the desk.
I came to migration law from digital forensics, a field where a case lives or dies on the quality of its evidence. Parent Visas are no different. I've been a Registered Migration Agent since 2016 and have managed several hundred matters across skilled, employer-sponsored, partner and citizenship work, as well as the difficult end of the spectrum: refusals, tribunal reviews and ministerial intervention.
That background shapes how I approach a Parent Visa. These applications turn on documents and on getting the strategy right before anything is lodged. One family I worked with needed both: permanent residence for the parents of an Australian citizen, and a lawful arrangement that allowed a 90-year-old grandmother to remain here with them.
This webinar is the conversation I'd want every family to have before they spend a cent. It won't replace advice about your own situation, but you'll leave knowing which pathways are genuinely open to you, and which questions matter most.

Is this for you?
It's designed for families at the start of the decision, not the end of it.
It's a good fit if you are
- An Australian citizen or permanent resident thinking about bringing a parent here
- Comparing options and unsure where to start
- Unsure whether contributory or non-contributory makes sense
- Supporting parents who already visit or stay for long periods
- Wanting clarity before spending significant money
It may not suit you if you
- Need an immediate visa outcome
- Want personalised advice on a complex case in a group setting
For advice about your own family, a private consultation is the better step.
