I don't think there is, but would like that confirmed. To sponser you she would need to provide accomodation and financial assistance as required, so how much it would cost is anyones guess as it would depend on you really.

Are you her biological mother? If so, you might want to look into the parent contributory visa? It doesn't take an age BUT it is quite pricey (about $25K - each?).

I think that another pre-requisite is that at least half of the parents children must live in Australia...

Correct

Assuming that the balance of family test is met and the residency and health requirements then the visa fees are about $30000 each plus AOS bond of $14000 per couple (for 10 years)

your daughter isnt asked to pay for anything. is your daughter being both the sponsor and the assurer?

There are a number of different visa categories you could apply under but the following should give you an idea of cost:

I have been having a quick look for the same info myself so if you need any more specific info let me know and i will try to point you in the right direction.

Yes she is both sponsor and assurer, obviously we will pay the bond and any sponsorship fees, we know how much the bond is but cant seem to find out how much it will be for sponsorship

We know about the $30000 for the contributory parent visas and the AoS bond, but looking on the website at sponsoship form it says send the fee with the application to sponsor, but doesnt say how much.

Just had another look at the site, it says when sending the sponsorship form evidence that you have paid the charge should be lodged with the form and the visa application forms.
