law, Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and
a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect,
tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and
pursuit of the public good.

individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic
background.
It is also important to understand that English is the national
language.

booklet, however, you are not required to read the booklet.

About this visa
The New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (subclass 461)
visa allows a person, or persons who do not hold a New Zealand
passport but are members of the family unit of a New Zealand
citizen who holds, or will hold upon entry to Australia, a Special
Category (subclass 444) visa (SCV) to travel to, enter, reside and
work in Australia on a temporary basis.
This visa:
• is valid for 5 years;
• permits unlimited travel to and from Australia;
• does not require formal sponsorship or nomination; and
• does not include any work or study restrictions; but
• may include either or both conditions 8303 and 8501.
Condition 8303 states you must not become involved in
activities disruptive to, or violence threatening harm to, the
Australian community or a group within the Australian
community.
Condition 8501 states you must maintain adequate
arrangements for health insurance while you are in Australia.

About this application
This form may be used by both primary and secondary
applicants who are members of the family unit of a New Zealand
citizen SCV holder who wish to apply for temporary residence
in Australia. All members of the family unit of the New Zealand
citizen SCV holder intending to travel with or join them in
Australia, to reside with them should be included in this
application.
A secondary applicant for this application is a member of the
family unit of the primary applicant and may include a child
under 18. It may also include a relative who is over the age of
18 and is dependent on the primary applicant. To meet the
requirements of this visa, however, the secondary applicant
must also be a member of the family unit of the New Zealand
citizen SCV holder.
Your application for a New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship
(subclass 461) visa is not valid if you currently hold a criminal
justice entry visa, a domestic worker visa, or if you are a detainee
who has not made an application within the prescribed time
limits, or if you hold a visa subject to a condition that prevents
the grant of a substantive visa while you remain in Australia.
Integrity of application
The department is committed to maintaining the integrity of
the visa and citizenship programmes. In relation to this
application, if you or a member of your family unit:
• provide, or have provided in a previous application,
fraudulent documents or false or misleading information
(knowingly or not); and/or
• fail to satisfy, or have failed to satisfy in a previous
application, the Minister of your or their identity;
this visa application may be refused and you, and any members
of your family unit, may become unable to be granted a visa for
specified periods of time, as set out in migration legislation.
If documents are found to be fraudulent or information to be
incorrect after the grant of a visa, the visa may subsequently be
cancelled.
Visa Application Charge
Refer to Part K – Payment details of this form to calculate the
correct charge and make payment.
Refer to www.border.gov.au/trav/visa/fees for a complete
and current list of applicable fees and charges.
Fees and charges may be subject to change at any time and
this may increase the cost of a visa application.
Generally, Visa Application Charges are reviewed on 1 July
each year, and the exchange rates used to calculate the
amount payable in a foreign country are updated on 1 January
and 1 July each year.
If you do not pay the full Visa Application Charge amount,
your visa application will not be valid.
Charges are generally not refundable, even if the application is
withdrawn or refused.

Health insurance requirements
You may be required, as a condition of this visa, to maintain
adequate private medical and hospital health insurance while

an Australian insurer – arrangements made in your home
country may be assessed as being acceptable. You need to
ensure your health insurance cover will provide for medically
necessary treatment for the entire period of your stay.
If you need to travel outside Australia before your application
is decided, you should contact the processing office regarding
a bridging visa that would enable you to return to Australia.
For information on bridging visas, refer to the information
form 1024i Bridging visas available from the department’s
website www.border.gov.au/allforms/

reciprocal health care arrangements with your home country.
You will be advised by a case officer if you are required to
arrange private health insurance.
Your bridging visa will usually have the same work conditions
as your existing visa. If you are seeking to change the work
conditions which will apply to your bridging visa before this
application is decided, you should apply on form 1005
Application for a bridging visa available from the department’s
website www.border.gov.au/allforms/

a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance.
If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from
registration, gives you immigration assistance they are
committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.

The following people do not have to be a registered migration
agent in order to provide immigration assistance, but they must
not charge a fee for their service:

parent, brother or sister);
• a member of parliament or their staff;
• an official whose duties include providing immigration
assistance (eg. a Legal Aid provider);
• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or
international organisation.

communications on your behalf. This person is called the
authorised recipient.
Authorised recipient information
Migration agents in Australia
Migration agents in Australia must be registered with the Office
of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (Office of the
MARA) unless they are exempt from registration.
Migration agents outside Australia
Migration agents who operate outside Australia do not have to
be registered. The department may give some overseas agents
an ID number. This number does not mean that they are
registered.
Note: Some Australian registered migration agents operate
overseas.
Migration agent information
A migration agent is someone who can:
• advise you on the visa that may best suit you;
• tell you the documents you need to submit with your
application;
• help you fill in the application and submit it; and
• communicate with the department on your behalf.
All written communication about your application will be sent to
your authorised recipient, unless you indicate that you wish to
have health and/or character information sent directly to you.
The department will communicate with the most recently
appointed authorised recipient as you may only appoint one
authorised recipient at any time for a particular application.
You will be taken to have received any documents sent to that
person as if they had been sent to you.
To appoint an authorised recipient you should complete:
• Part J – Options for receiving written communications; and
• form 956A Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised
recipient.
Note: Migration agents/exempt persons do not need to
complete form 956A.
Form 956A is available from the department’s website
www.border.gov.au/allforms/
If you appoint a migration agent, the department will assume
that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient,

department will discuss your application and from whom it will
seek further information when required.
