Sponsor Obligations

If you want to sponsor your partner's visa application to migrate to Australia, you must sign a sponsorship undertaking.

• are responsible for all financial obligations to the Australian Government that your partner might incur while they are in Australia

• will provide financial and other support, such as childcare, that will enable your partner to attend any English classes they need
• will provide information and advice to help your partner settle in Australia. This information and advice should include telling your partner about employment in Australia
• immediately notify the department if your relationship with your partner breaks down, or if you withdraw your support for your partner before their application is finalised.
