The Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143) and the Contributory Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 864) are both permanent residence visas for the parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.
The main difference is that the Subclass 864 Visa has an age requirement while the Subclass 143 Visa does not. To apply for a Subclass 864 Visa, migrants must be old enough to receive Australia's age pension.
The rest of the main requirements around sponsorship, assurance of support, and the balance-of-family test are the same.
The Subclass 143 Visa is the Contributory Contributory Parent Visa.
The ‘contributory’ element is a substantial financial contribution that visa applicants must make to compensate for the rights awarded to them as permanent residents, such as health care, as they have never made any tax contributions towards these rights as someone who’s lived outside of Australia.
The Parent Visa (Subclass 103), on the other hand, does not have a contributory element.
