Give Details Of The Social Aspects Of The Relationship

social aspects of the relationship partner visa guide australia

Last updated: 11 December 2023

The Social Aspects Of The Relationship

The elements of the relationship have variously been called ‘pillar’, ‘aspect’ and most recently ‘factor’ by the Department. They change the name of these elements as much as they change their name (which is why I often just call them The Department). However, the basic 4 element/pillar/aspect exists: financial, nature of the commitment, nature of the household and social aspects of the relationship.

When I first started writing my book it was called ‘aspects of a relationship’ and you’ll still see this in the forms despite them undergoing a name change. You will also see many other sites use different names for it but it all means the same thing: there are 4 things to a relationship that the Department wants you to prove and today I’m going to explain the social aspect of the relationship and how you can provide evidence to support this.

The Nature Of The Commitment The Applicant And The Sponsor Have To Each Other

The Australian partner visa application is evaluated against the following criteria whether you’re in a married relationship or a de-facto partnership:

  1. Financial aspects of the relationship
  2. Social aspects of the relationship
  3. Nature of the commitment to each other
  4. Nature of the household

These 4 aspects of a relationship are considered by the case officer to be the cornerstone of what relationships are and while you don’t have to answer each and every aspect (also called 4 pillars of the relationship, 4 elements of a relationship or simply 4 things of the relationship) the more evidence you can provide to these 4 aspects will further support your Australian partner visa application.

In today’s post we’re going to discuss the nature of the commitment of the applicant and the sponsor have to each other.

COVID-19 and Partner Visas – How to go to Australia and apply for exemption

How to go to Australia during COVID

How can I apply for an exemption to travel to Australia for my partner?

As many of you are aware, as a country, we’re locked down. No one is allowed in or out unless they have exemptions to travel. 

Responding to increasing pressure from Australian citizens being separated from their family and loved ones, the government has decided to a) allow entry for partners of Australian citizens and b) fast-track them aka give their visa applications priority processing.

Proving financial support during partner visa processing period

Do I need financial support or assurances of support for partner visa applications?

Do I need financial support or assurances of support for partner visa applications?

Dear Readers, 

Today we’re talking about financial support and proving financial resources as a sponsor of a partner visa application. 

Lately I’ve been receiving questions around financial support and whether the Australian sponsor needs to have an amount of money in their bank account, how do Australian sponsors prove that they can provide financially for the applicant and similar types of questions.

There’s also a lot of misinformation going around, usually by people and companies that make money off lending sponsors money to ‘show’ that they have enough in their bank accounts. 

Yes, this is a common practice for partner visas around the world, including the US and UK where a sponsoring partner must be employed and earn a salary over a certain amount of money before they are allowed to sponsor their partner. However, Australia is not a country that requires sponsors to earn over a certain threshold before they can sponsor. Thankfully!

Social Responsibility and Financial Aid Programmes – Get Help With Fees

australian partner visa guide is giving back

In my previous post, I wrote about how some couples are working 3 jobs just to pay for the partner visa application fees. I received an overwhelming response from readers about how this has impacted them, particularly with the recent fee increase again (this time it’s a whopping $7,715, even more than we predicted).

All these stories made me think long and hard about how I can give more back to the community; to the people whose only crime was to fall in love with an Australian and want to be able to live in this beautiful country that we call home.

I had a discussion with the team and we are all of the same opinion that we could do more.

This is why I’m donating more of my time and services to partner visa applications.

Today I’m very proud to announce that we are launching 2 give back programmes called the Social Responsibility Programme and the Financial Aid Programme.
