Australian Visa Application Charges will change from 1 July 2015

Australian Visa Application Charges from 1 July 2015. These adjustments include:

A price increase in line with inflation (2.3%) on visas which face strong international competition or have been impacted by recent price increases. These include specific visas within the Permanent Migration Skill Stream, Skilled Graduate, Temporary Long Stay Business (Subclass 457), Visitor and Student
visa streams
A 5% price increase on visas which continue to see strong demand despite previous increases, or are likely to see a sustained volume increase through policy changes under consideration. These include specific visas within the Temporary Resident Short Term Business and Entertainment visas, Working Holiday visas, Resident Return and Retirement Investor visas, and Contributory Parent visa streams.
A 10% price increase on specific visas within the Other Family (Remaining Relative, Carer and Aged Dependent Relative) visas, and (non-contributory) Parent visa streams where the underlying demand is not expected to be impacted by the price
increase.
A 50% increase to the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) stream in the permanent migration Skill stream category where the VAC is the equivalent of a very small component of the minimum $5 million of investments required under the visa regulation.
