What if the sponsor has sponsored someone to Australia before?
Sponsorship limitations: You may not be able to sponsor your partner if you have previously sponsored 2 other partners for migration to Australia; have sponsored another partner within the last 5 years or were sponsored as a partner yourself within the last 5 years; or are the holder of a Woman at Risk visa (subclass 204). You may still be permitted to sponsor your partner in compelling circumstances, such as: If your previous partner has died or abandoned the relationship leaving young children; if your relationship with your current partner is long standing; or if you and your partner have children of your relationship.
