1.Checking Eligibility Requirements
You will need to check that you meet all of the eligibility requirements. This includes being at least 18 years old, not having any dependent children and not being married or in a de facto relationship with anyone else. You also need to be able to provide evidence of your relationship with your partner.

2. Providing Enough Evidence
Ensure that all relevant documents are submitted with your application form. Understand the requirements and procedures associated with applying for a partner visa in Australia

3.Being Honest
Be honest. Understand the consequences of not being honest

4.Understanding the Process
Know what documents are required. Be aware of any fees that apply.
Be aware of the potential costs associated with hiring a lawyer or migration agent.

5.Consulting an Immigration Lawyer
If you're not sure about how to prove your relationship, a good first step is to consult with an immigration lawyer. They will be able to answer any questions you have about the process, as well as help guide you through it. A lawyer can also advise on what documents are needed and give advice on any legal issues that may arise during the application process.

6.Meeting Deadlines
Ensure that your application is processed on time.

7.Avoid delays
Understand the consequences of missing a deadline.

8.Being Prepared for Interviews
Before you go to your interview, be sure that you have all the documents and information that are required. Know what documents you need to bring. You should also read up on Australia's immigration policies so that you know what is expected of applicants.

9.Applying for the Correct Visa
Before you start your application, it's important to understand the difference between temporary and permanent partner visas. A temporary partner visa allows you to stay in Australia for up to 12 months at a time, with no more than 12 months in total on any one visa. You can apply for an extension of this visa if you wish to stay longer or if your partner is eligible for permanent residence (more on that later).The processing time for a temporary partner visa is about 6-8 weeks from when we receive all of your documents from us and make sure everything looks good before sending it off to DIAC (the Department of Immigration).

10.Knowing the Conditions of the Visa
Before you can apply for a partner visa, you need to understand the conditions of this visa.
The first thing that you need to know is that there are two types of partner visas: temporary and permanent. A temporary partner visa allows your partner to stay in Australia for up to two years before they must leave the country again (unless they meet certain criteria). If they want to stay longer than two years, then they will have to apply for another type of visa--the permanent one--which grants them permission to live there permanently if granted by immigration authorities.

Another important thing about these visas is that there are restrictions placed on them depending on what kind of relationship exists between applicants as well as whether or not both parties are single at the time when applying for their respective documents (if applicable).
