The Family Reunion Visa encompasses several subclasses, including the Parent Stream Visa, facilitating family members to live together in Australia. Significant reforms to the Family Visa program were implemented on June 2, 2014, affecting the Other Family Visa streams.

The Parent Stream Visa is segregated into two primary types. Applicants have the option to initiate the application process from within Australia or from overseas, depending on the specific subclass they qualify for.
