Can I Bring Family Member(s) on My Medical Treatment Visa (MTV) (SC 602)?
The Medical Treatment Visa (MTV) (Subclass 602) allows individuals to travel to Australia for medical treatments and/or consultations. If you are considering applying for this visa, one frequently asked question is: Can I bring family members with me? The answer depends on specific circumstances.
Can Family Members Be Included in My MTV Application?
Yes, typically you can include your members of your family unit (MoFU) – such as your spouse and/or dependent children as dependents when applying for an MTV (SC 602) visa, as long as they meet the requirements.

Who Can Be Included in My MTV Application?
Spouse or Partner
Dependent Children
What is the MTV Requirement for Family Members as Dependents?
All dependents included in your MTV application must meet the health and character requirements.
The dependents will need to provide supporting evidence of their relationship with you, such as marriage certificates or birth certificates.
You may need to demonstrate that you can financially support your MoFU during their stay.
What If I Want my Relative to Come with Me?
If you are considering bringing your relative who doesn't meet the dependent requirement to be included under your MTV application, you may consider the pathway to apply for an MTV for them as a support person. A support person is for an individual who seeks to give emotional and other support to you. However, they will need to meet the relevant visa requirements and make their own separate MTV application.
