What an Australian visa actually costs
The government charge for your family, plus what agents really charge for that work. One number, with the split shown, in about fifteen seconds.
| What | Who gets it | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application charge, main applicant | Home Affairs | $3,075 |
| Professional fees Typical range for this work |
Your agent | $1,800 – $4,500 |
| Total | $4,875 – $7,575 |
Professional fees shown are a published range. Once enough engagements for this visa have completed here we will show what people actually paid instead (currently 0 of 5). A median computed from a handful of matters would be worse than none, because people would act on it.
Health examinations (about $450 a person), police clearances (about $55 in Australia, more overseas), NAATI translations, English tests, skills assessments, and any second instalment. A real quote itemises all of them - that is what makes it a quote rather than a headline.
