This covers both standard Parent (Migrant) visas and Aged Parent (Residence) visas for elderly parents living in Australia.\n*   **Other Family visas**: Maximum of **510** grants. This includes visas for other family members like dependent relatives or carers.\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThese caps control how many people can permanently reunite with family in Australia each year. Once the limit was hit, applications had to wait until the next financial year. The numbers include New Zealand citizens even though they are counted separately from Australia's main Migration Program.\n\nThis is made under **section 85** of the Migration Act (the part of the law that lets the Minister set yearly visa limits)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-granting-of-parent-and-other-family-visas-in-2014-2015-financial-year-immi-14-050","history":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-granting-of-parent-and-other-family-visas-in-2014-2015-financial-year-immi-14-050/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-granting-of-parent-and-other-family-visas-in-2014-2015-financial-year-immi-14-050/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-granting-of-parent-and-other-family-visas-in-2014-2015-financial-year-immi-14-050/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-granting-of-parent-and-other-family-visas-in-2014-2015-financial-year-immi-14-050/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-granting-of-parent-and-other-family-visas-in-2014-2015-financial-year-immi-14-050/documents"}}
