🛑 Essential: The Four Pillars of the Partner Visa Application

 

The Department of Home Affairs assesses your relationship across four key categories. For your application to be successful, you must provide robust, dated, and ongoing evidence for ALL FOUR PILLARS.

 

Pillar 1: Financial Aspects of the Relationship

 

This evidence shows that you and your partner share financial commitments and responsibilities.

Document Type	Specific Examples of Evidence
Joint Accounts & Assets	Joint bank account statements (showing activity from initial setup to present). Joint loans for cars, property, or major assets. Joint credit card statements.
Shared Liabilities	Evidence of joint mortgages or lease agreements. Shared utility bills (electricity, gas, internet, phone) in both names. Joint home/car insurance policies listing both partners.
Financial Support	Money transfers or receipts showing financial support provided to each other. One partner acting as the other’s guarantor for a loan.
Other Commitments	Wills or Power of Attorney naming the other partner. Joint investments or savings goals.

Pillar 2: Nature of the Household

 

This evidence demonstrates how you and your partner share responsibilities within your shared home and daily life.

Document Type	Specific Examples of Evidence
Living Arrangements	Joint lease agreements or home ownership documents. Correspondence (mail/letters) addressed to both partners at the same address.
Shared Responsibility	A written statement detailing how household chores and responsibilities (cooking, cleaning, shopping, bills) are divided.
Joint Commitments	Joint responsibility for children (custody documents, school contacts). Joint responsibility for pets (vet bills, registration).
Household Mail	Invoices, subscription bills, or government letters addressed to both partners at the same address.

 

Pillar 3: Social Aspects of the Relationship

 

This evidence shows that your relationship is known and accepted by your friends, family, and the wider public.

Document Type	Specific Examples of Evidence
Social Proof	Form 888 (Statutory Declarations): At least two statements from Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens attesting to the genuineness of your relationship and how they know you as a couple.
Joint Activities	Photos from social events, holidays, weddings, and family gatherings (with captions detailing the event and people present). Joint invitations to events.
Public Recognition	Evidence of joint travel (flight itineraries, boarding passes, accommodation bookings). Joint membership in clubs, religious organizations, or sporting groups.
Social Media	Screenshots of shared social media profiles, public relationship status, or posts documenting the relationship over time.

 

Pillar 4: Mutual Commitment to Each Other

 

This evidence is the most personal and demonstrates the long-term, exclusive nature of your commitment.

Document Type	Specific Examples of Evidence
Relationship History	Detailed, signed written statements from both the applicant and the sponsor, covering: how, when, and where you met; how the relationship developed; significant events; periods of separation and how you maintained contact; and your plans for the future.
Communication (When Apart)	Detailed call logs, messaging history, emails, or chat screenshots showing regular and sustained contact during periods of separation.
Significant Events	Cards, receipts for gifts, or other tokens exchanged for anniversaries, birthdays, or other special occasions.
Future Planning	Evidence of combined major life plans (e.g., plans for marriage, children, moving house, joint investments).

💡 Top Tips for Application Success

 

1. Translate Everything: All documents not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation (NAATI accredited translators in Australia, or approved translators overseas).
2. Organise and Label: Scan and label all documents clearly (e.g., “Pillar 1 – Joint Bank Statement – Aug 2024”). The easier the case officer can find the evidence, the faster the processing may be.
3. Consistency is Key: Ensure that names, dates of birth, and addresses are consistent across all forms and documents. Discrepancies lead to delays and potential refusal.
4. Quantity and Quality: Provide an abundance of evidence, focusing on quality (official, dated documents) and continuous coverage across the entire history of the relationship.
