The Impact of the Australian Pension Age Increase

The Australian pension age is set to increase to 67 years from July 1, 2023. This change will impact the eligibility requirements for three specific Australian visas: the SC 804 Aged Parent Visa, SC 864 Contributory Aged Parent Visa, and SC 838 Aged Dependent Relative Visa (which is not a parent visa by definition). As a result, we expect to see a significant increase in visa applications as the deadline approaches.



If you're planning on applying for any of these visas, it's important to note that the eligibility requirements are subject to change. These changes could mean that you're no longer eligible for the visa you're interested in, so it's crucial to stay informed and act quickly.

Submitting Your Visa Application As Soon As Possible

While the upcoming changes to the Australian pension age may not impact those planning to lodge SC 143, SC 173, or SC 103 directly, it's still essential to submit your application as soon as possible. The surge in applications and extended wait times will likely affect all visa applicants, so it's crucial to act quickly to avoid potential delays.
