Learn how 482 visa holders can bring family members to Australia, including eligibility rules, documents and dependent visa rights.
The Australian Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa allows skilled workers to bring eligible family members, including their spouse or de facto partner and dependent children, to Australia. Family members can be included in the initial visa application or added later as subsequent entrants, provided they meet health, character, and relationship requirements. Once approved, dependents can live, work, and study in Australia for the same duration as the primary visa holder, making it easier for skilled professionals to relocate with their families.
