The majority of the Skilled Immigration Visas that offer Permanent Residency for Healthcare Professionals in Australia allow the inclusion of qualified family members in their application. This is intended to achieve family reunification.

If you are a GP seeking to apply for Australia PR Visa from India you are allowed to include your family members in the immigration application. It includes your close family members such as your spouse/partner and your or their dependent kids and step-kids.

Meanwhile, it is doubtful that other members of the family like siblings and parents will be allowed to be included in the immigration application. However, if they cannot take care of themselves and you or your partner is their main caregiver, there are more chances of them being approved for immigration to Australia.

As a Permanent Resident in Australia, you can sponsor your family members for immigration to Australia. It includes your cousins, siblings, uncles, aunts, or other relatives. The following are some major Immigration Programs/ Subclass Visas for this:
