As long as you can prove you have been living together for 12 months or more your partner counts as a de facto spouse and can be included on your visa, along with the children

Yup, I can vouch for that - OH & I have been together for 5 years, with 2 daughters from previous marriage....he included all of us on his visa application & we were all granted PR.

Best of luck

thank's for that.
i would be coming over there on a sponsered work visa, do you know if my partner would be allowed to work because of that or would she need to get a visa in her own right to work there?

She would be granted a visa on the back of yours that would allow her to work.
