How to calculate family size

To confirm your host’s minimum necessary income, include the following people in the family size count:

yourself and any other super visa applicant applying at the same time (such as your spouse)

host child or grandchild

host’s spouse (which might include a separated spouse) or common-law partner

dependent children of the host and of their spouse or common-law partner

Children who meet the definition of a dependent child must be included in the count, regardless of custody and child support arrangements.


previously approved super visa applicants

These are super visa holders that were in another letter of invitation, signed by the host or the host’s spouse or common-law partner, that is still applicable.


previously sponsored individuals

These are individuals the host or co-signer has previously sponsored (or acted as a co-signer for) where the duration of the undertaking is still in effect.
