Offshore humanitarian visas: Refugee (200, 201, 203, 204) and Global Special Humanitarian (202), including split-family reunion

You must be living outside Australia and outside your country of origin, be subject to substantial discrimination in your home country amounting to a gross violation of your human rights, and have a proposer: an Australian citizen, permanent resident, eligible New Zealand citizen or an organisation in Australia. Or be an immediate family member of a person granted this visa in the last 5 years, who must then be your proposer.

Highest priority goes to applicants whose proposer is an immediate family member (partner or dependent child, or the parent of a proposer under 18) who holds a Class XB visa or is an Australian citizen who held a Protection or Resolution of Status visa, and who meets split-family criteria: was immediate family when the proposer's visa was granted, told Home Affairs about the relationship before that grant, and proposed within 5 years of the grant. Lower priority follows for close family, extended family, distant relatives, friends or organisations, and lowest for proposers holding a Protection or Resolution of Status visa.
