Hello again Mohammad. What have you tried so far?
To apply for a humanitarian visa for Australia, you’ll generally follow these key steps. Humanitarian visas are for people who are outside Australia and are subject to substantial discrimination or human rights abuses.
The main humanitarian visa is Subclass 202 – Global Special Humanitarian Visa.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Find a Proposer in Australia
You need to be proposed (sponsored) by an Australian citizen, permanent resident, eligible New Zealand citizen, or an organisation based in Australia.
2. Prepare Your Application
The proposer must submit Form 681 (Refugee and Special Humanitarian Proposal), and you must submit Form 842 (Application for an Offshore Humanitarian Visa). You’ll need to include detailed information about:
Why you are seeking protection
The harm or discrimination you face
Supporting documents (identity, relationship with the proposer, letters from community organisations etc.)
3. Submit the Application
Send both forms together to the Department of Home Affairs by post. They must be lodged in Australia by the proposer.
4. Wait for Processing
The Department assesses:
Whether you meet the compelling reasons criteria
Whether you satisfy health, character and security checks
Your situation compared to other applicants (priority is based on urgency and risk)
5. Visa Outcome
If successful, you’ll be granted a permanent visa which allows you to live, work and study in Australia and access Medicare and other government services.
More details are available on the official Department of Home Affairs page here:
