Life in Australia – Australian values
The Australian Government encourages people to gain an
understanding of Australia, its people and their way of life, before
applying for a visa to live in Australia.
This includes understanding that the English language, as the
national language, is an important unifying element of Australian
society. Australian society is also united through the following
shared values:
respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual;
freedom of religion (including the freedom not to follow
a particular religion), freedom of speech, and freedom of
association;
commitment to the rule of law, which means that all people
are subject to the law and should obey it;
parliamentary democracy whereby our laws are determined
by parliaments elected by the people, those laws being
paramount and overriding any other inconsistent religious or
secular ‘laws’;
equality of opportunity for all people, regardless of their
gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, or national or
ethnic origin;
a ‘fair go’ for all that embraces:
mutual respect;
tolerance;
compassion for those in need; and
equality of opportunity for all.
The Life in Australia booklet provides more information on the
values that Australians share and their way of life. This booklet is
available in a wide range of languages and can be obtained from
www.homeaffairs.gov.au
You are encouraged to read the Life in Australia booklet before
completing this application form. If you have difficulty, or are
unable to read the booklet, you may have the content of it
explained to you, for example, by a friend or relative. This form
contains a declaration, that you must sign, that confirms you
understand and will undertake to conduct yourself in accordance
with the values of Australian society (as explained in the booklet)
and will obey the laws of Australia.
This declaration must also be signed by each person aged
18 years or over, who is included in this form.
About this visa
The New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (subclass 461) visa is a
temporary visa for members of the family unit of some New Zealand
citizens
*
who are not New Zealand citizens themselves.
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.
A secondary applicant for this application is a member of the
family unit of the primary applicant.
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.
Including family members in your application
In your visa application you will be asked for information about
each member of your family unit even if they do not intend to
migrate with you. Information about which family members are
considered to be a ‘member of your family unit’ for migration
purposes is available by referring to form 1496i Including family
members in your application. Form 1496i is available from the
Department’s website www.homeaffairs.gov.au/allforms/
You should ensure that you read and understand form 1496i
before completing this form.
*
The New Zealand citizen must:
hold, or be eligible for, a Special Category (subclass 444) visa (SCV); and
not be an eligible New Zealand citizen.
An eligible New Zealand citizen is a person who is defined as a
‘protected SCV’ holder under the
Social Security Act 1991.
Protected SCV holders are those who arrived in Australia on a
New Zealand passport and were:
in Australia on 26 February 2001;
in Australia for at least 12 months in the 2 years immediately before
26 February 2001; or
assessed as protected SCV holders before 26 February 2004.

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.

health insurance cover will provide for medically necessary

Immigration assistance
A person gives immigration assistance to you if he or she uses, or
claims to use, his or her knowledge or experience in migration
procedure to assist you with your visa application, request for
ministerial intervention, cancellation review application,
sponsorship or nomination.
In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration
assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is exempt
from being registered. Only registered migration agents may
receive 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.
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.
If you appoint a migration agent, the Department will assume
that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient,
unless you indicate otherwise.
Your migration agent will be the person with whom the
Department will discuss your application and from whom it will
seek further information when required. You are not required to
use a migration agent. However, if you use a migration agent, the
Department encourages you to use a registered migration agent.
Registered agents are bound by the Migration Agents Code of
Conduct, which requires them to act professionally in their
clients’ lawful best interests.
Information on migration agents, including a list of registered
migration agents, is available on the Office of the MARA website
www.mara.gov.au
You can also access information about migration agents on the
Department’s website https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-
support/who-can-help-with-your-application/using-a-
migration-agent
Exempt persons
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:
a close family member (spouse, de facto partner, child, 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.
