Is the subclass 191 a permanent visa, and can my family be included?

The 191 is a permanent residence visa. Once granted, you can live, work and study anywhere in Australia without the regional restrictions that applied during your provisional visa.

You can include eligible members of your family unit, such as a partner and dependent children, who then share the permanent residence outcome. As permanent residents, you and your included family are also placed on the standard pathway toward Australian citizenship once you meet the residence requirements.
