Default 457 options info needed

I'm currently on a 457 visa and my employer has agreed to apply for this to be converted to PR 186 visa.

The 186 visa nomination by my employer was approved by Diac, but I'm over 50 and I believe that my application will be rejected due to my age.
I am aware that there are some occupations that the age barrier doesn't apply too but I don't believe that mine is one of them.

So I'm looking for some info on the contributory parent visa 864 as our daughter is an australian citizen.
Does anyone know if I will still be able to work during the application process for an 864 visa when I'm still on a long stay temporary work visa 457.
I know that I can work on a 864 visa after it has been approved.

There are a number of exceptions to the age limit - have you checked them all?

Will you meet the age requirements of a 864?

Yes I've checked the exceptions including the salary requirements and I don't qualify.

I will meet the age requirements.

I can renew the 457 however through my company for another 4 years I believe, but I was looking for a more permanent solution.

So can I still work on a 457 while applying for the 864.

If you meet the requirements then I don't see why not, but in your position I would probably check everything with a MARA agent before applying. If the 457 is due to expire, I wouldn't know how that could affect things
