Yes, if you become an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you can sponsor your family to join you under several visa categories. Common options include:

- Partner visas for your spouse or partner
- Parent visas for your parents
- Child visas for dependent or adopted children
- Other family visas for certain relatives

Each visa type has its own eligibility requirements, process, and typical waiting times, which are subject to change.

For guidance on choosing the right visa and understanding the latest rules, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
