The COVID-19 pandemic has spread incredibly quickly and we are now in a world crisis. We are calling on Prime Minister Scott Morrison to make an exception and allow all the spouses of any visa holders into Australia. The husband or wife who got separated because Of you imposing a travel ban on very short notice. I personally tried to be in Australia at any cost but there were no tickets leaving me with no choice.

The Australian economy is been devastatingly affected by this virus causing many businesses to close down or be on the brink of making redundancies to their workforce.

My hope after calling this country home for the past nearly 5 years was to apply for my permanent residency and continue to live, contribute and settle in this amazing country. But without your partner how can you call some place a home.

This is just my own personal example of why I am asking for these new conditions to be assessed and introduced by the government. But I know there are many more people struggling with similar and equally unfair circumstances, which is why I am passionate about starting this petition. We are skilled workers and are valuable to the Australian economy and will be needed once this pandemic is over! 

Australia is a country built on diversity. The merging of different cultures is something that makes it so unique as a nation. I know that each and every person will know someone who has migrated to this country, whether that be a friend, parent or grandparent. Likewise I know that many people will also know someone on a visa who is being affected by this COVID-19 situation. Please support those who want to continue to live and thrive in this country by signing this petition. Please share far and wide amongst your peers, colleagues and family. We would really appreciate your support during this time!
