Let Ying-Hsi Chou Stay in Australia – Keep Her Family Together


Let Ying-Hsi Chou Stay in Australia – Keep Her Family Together
The issue
A mother of three is at risk of being forced out of Australia — and separated from her children after 12 years of building a life here.
As a parent, I understand how important a mother’s presence is in a child’s life. It’s not just about care — it’s about love, safety, stability, and being there through every moment that shapes who they become.
That’s why this is so deeply heartbreaking.
A family in our community of Murray Bridge, South Australia — Ying’s family — is facing the very real possibility of being torn apart,
On April 12th 2026 she will have to leave
Ying is not just someone on a visa. She is a devoted mother of three beautiful children, a partner, and a valued member of our community. She has spent over 12 years building a life here — a home, a future, and a safe, loving environment for her family.
Her children deserve to grow up with their mum by their side — guiding them, supporting them, and being there for both the big moments and the everyday ones that matter just as much.
If Ying is forced to leave Australia, it won’t just be a change in circumstances — it will be a life-altering separation that could deeply impact her children’s emotional wellbeing, sense of security, and development.
Research has consistently shown that separating children from a parent can lead to increased anxiety, emotional distress, and long-term psychological effects.
This is not just a policy decision — this is a human one.
Ying has done everything to build a life here with integrity and resilience. She is already part of Australia — her family is here, her life is here, and her future belongs here.
Australia is a country built on fairness, compassion, and strong family values.
This is a moment to uphold those values.
We are asking for understanding.
We are asking for compassion.
We are asking for discretion.
Because at the heart of this — there are children who simply need their mum.
By signing this petition, you are standing up for family, for humanity, and for what is right.
Please help keep this family together.
