The Department of Home Affairs released historical queue release data for aged parent visa processing from June 2021 to September 2022. For subclass 804 (Aged Parent visa) and subclass 864 (Contributory Aged Parent visa), the document shows processing backlogs remained largely stagnant during this period. As of May 2021, Parent visa applications (subclass 804) were queued to October 2010, while Contributory Parent applications reached May 2016. By June 2022, Parent visa queuing advanced minimally to October 2010, while Contributory Parent applications progressed only to July 2016 and Aged Parent applications remained at December 2012. The department noted processing times of approximately four weeks for new application acknowledgments and identified discrepancies between offshore and onshore visa processing timelines, prompting internal action. Applications are processed in date order within annual legislative limits.
