Can my family come with me, and do they need health insurance?

You can generally include members of your family unit, such as a partner and dependent children, with your subclass 407 application. You may be asked to show you can financially support yourself and your accompanying family during the stay.

The visa carries a health insurance condition (condition 8501), meaning you must maintain adequate health insurance while in Australia. You are responsible for your own health costs and will not be covered by Medicare unless a reciprocal health care agreement applies.

Arrange suitable health cover for yourself and any family members before travel, and keep it in place for the whole stay, since this is a mandatory condition of the visa.
