Sponsors of Partner visas
If you want to withdraw your sponsorship, complete the Partner processing enquiry form. Include a statement that you withdraw your sponsorship from the Partner visa application.
If you withdraw your sponsorship, privacy law stops us from giving you any details about the visa application or applicant. This includes the application outcome and whether the applicant is in Australia.
There may still be grounds for us to grant the visa applicant a permanent Partner visa. When we receive information that a relationship has ended, we must tell the visa applicant. We will give them a chance to respond to this information before we make a decision about the visa application.
Support services
There are support services available if you are impacted by domestic and family violence. See Where to get help.
You do not have to stay in a relationship where you fear for your or your family’s safety.
Call emergency services if:
- you, or someone else, is injured and need urgent medical attention
- your life, or the life of a family member, is threatened.
In an emergency or life-threatening situation, call the police on 000.
You can report domestic and family violence conducted by a visa holder to Border Watch. You should report allegations of criminal conduct to the police in the first instance.
