Australia Visit Visa from Lahore

Subclass 600 has several streams. Tourist is the usual one for a holiday or a family visit. Sponsored Family exists where an Australian relative sponsors the visit and may be asked for a security bond. Business Visitor covers meetings and conferences, not work.

Choosing the wrong stream costs the application fee, which is not refunded.

• Lodge through ImmiAccount and manage the document uploads
• Build the genuine-visitor case in a written statement, with evidence behind each claim
• Handle the sponsor's documents where a relative in Australia is inviting
• Arrange the health examination when one is requested
• Prepare character and police documents where they apply

Australia is more likely than most to ask for a medical, particularly for older applicants or longer stays. It is requested after lodgement, at a panel clinic, and the file waits until it is done — one more reason not to apply the month before you want to fly.

An Australian relative can sponsor the visit, and in some cases is asked to lodge a bond that is returned when you leave on time. It is not a penalty; it is the department pricing its own risk. Whether that stream helps or hurts depends on the case, and it is worth a conversation before anything is lodged.
