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 prevents us from releasing any details about the visa application or the visa applicant to you. This includes the outcome of the application and whether the visa applicant is in Australia.
There may still be grounds for the visa applicant to be granted a permanent Partner visa. When we receive information that a relationship has ended, we are obliged to tell the visa applicant. We will give them an opportunity to respond to this information before we make a decision about the visa application.
There are support services available if you are impacted by
domestic and family violence. See Where to get help.
You do not have to remain in a relationship where you fear for your or your family’s safety.
You should not hesitate to 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.
