Can anyone advise on where to find the rules for a friend sponsorship and what forms need to be completed.

I have visited the immi.gov.au site and can only find relative sponsorship.

I would appreciate any help that can be given.

Thanks
Paul

is this a wind up?
not being rude or anything, but i have never heard of a friend sponsorship!, if so we would all be doing it! (well those that do have friends in oz)

love to hear feedback

A "friend" can be your assurer (and has to lodge an assurence of support on your behalf), but you have to have a close family member who can sponsor you. (or that was the case last time i looked!)

can I sponsor my brother on this programme - does he have to have a skilled profession a la 139 skilled programme or is it enough that I put up the assurance of support...

thinking of getting my twin brother over...it's true - there are two of us!!!

Oh god help us!
You can sponsor relatives and assure them, but only after you've lived there for 2 years, but he still has to pass all the usual requirements (age, skill etc) but does not have to do the points test with assurer.

Thanks for your reply it has been very helpful to two novices who are desperately trying to get a case together.

Would you be good enough to let me know where I can find some info on this.

Remember a company can sponsor you too, Nurses seem to be able to get company sponsorship, what are both your occupations?

Hi Paul and Michele, All of the info is on the "immi" site. You just need to trawl through it to find whats best for you both really. Hope you find what you need
