Thank you for your question. To Introduce myself I am a sydney based Solicitor and will do my best to provide you with information to answer your question.

There is a Visa available where you can sponsor your relative to come over and be your carer.

The following link gives you details of that Visa and what the requirements are.

http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/carer/116/how-the-visa-works.htm

You will need to be assessed by the Department and your relative will need to make the application overseas.

I would suggest in order for you to increase your chances of success that you obtain detailed advice from a solicitor or migration out of the practices in migration law.

you can contact the Law Society of South Australia and I will be able to provide you with a referral.

The website is as follows:

I hope this is of assistance. If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Having answered your question I would like to explain how I am paid for my work. The rating given by you, for my answer will decide whether or not I will be paid for my work.

At the end of this post you will see 5 faces asking you to rate my work. Selecting either of the 2 the unhappy faces means you are not happy with my answer and do not wish me to be paid for my work. The other 3 mean I am paid.

I would prefer you rate me at the very end of our session not after each response. This way I can be sure you have an answer that assists you and you can rate the whole experience.

If you want more information after I respond, or wish to have something cleared up, select "Reply so Sydney-Lawyer" or "Reply to Expert" and we can continue until you are satisfied.

I am here to assist you as quickly as possible, and you rating each post will delay the process as it does not tell me what the issue is. I would prefer you ask me questions than rating the response and not providing me with further questions.

Because he is under the age of 18 the approval of the Visa will be subject to the public interest criteria 4017 and 4018 which is set out below:

4017 provides that the Minister

must be satisfied that there is no compelling reason to believe that the grant of the visa would not be in the best interests of the applicant.
if the above criteria is met then the visa will be approved.
These are the conditions.
I hope this is of assistance. If you have any further queries please not hesitate to contact me.
