Give Details Of The Social Aspects Of The Relationship
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:
- Financial aspects of the relationship
- Social aspects of the relationship
- Nature of the commitment to each other
- 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.

The Nature Of The Household
When evaluating your Australian partner visa application, case officers are evaluating your application against the following 4 criteria that are otherwise known as the 4 aspects of the relationship:
- Financial aspects of the relationship
- Social aspects of the relationship
- Nature of the commitment to each other
- Nature of the household
Today, we’re continuing our series on the 4 aspects of the relationship (or also called 4 elements of a relationship, 4 pillars of a relationship or simply 4 things depending on who you talk to) and I’m going to show you how to write details of the nature of the household.

Speeding Up Your Partner Visa Application Processing Time
Dear readers,

- Nature of the commitment to each other
- Nature of the household

Social Responsibility and Financial Aid Programmes – Get Help With Fees
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.
What do migration agents do for their fees? – Migration agents and your headaches
Last updated: 11 December 2023
“We take care of the headaches” is a very popular line from migration agents but what do they really mean when they say that?
Because at the end of the day, they still give you a checklist for you to gather the documents, write your statements and then apply for the police checks, health checks etc. Migration agents don’t even help you translate your documents and if they do you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s not part of the $5,000 fee that they quote. They’ll know trusted translators that they’ve worked with before and they’ll recommend them to you because guess what? Migration agents get a commission for that and their trusted translators make money off you too. (Note: always use a NAATI certified translator if you can).
So let’s go through what these potential headaches could be and how migration agents take care of them for you.
