May nakasagot na siguro nito dati. Ano po yung mas mainam na tourist visang aapplayan for my sister(unemployed but currently processing for a work in another country) and my mother? Kailangan ba talaga na sponsored family stream or ok na yung normal tourist visa with an invitation letter? Baka kasi hingan ako ng malaking bond. Thanks sa makakapagreply.

if working = employment certificate , if student = current and future status, enrollment papers
proof of financial capacity for the entire visit.

if visiting a family relative -- your relative should also attach the same documents plus an invitation letter with details of significance of your visit. (celebrating an occasion etc etc)
if visiting as a legit tourist -- optional itinerary (hotel booking, flight booking --kahit yung unpaid pa pwede na)

Nag apply ako ng visa sa parents ko at sa 8 year old na pamangkin through online noong March 24. And then nung April 27 na-received ko yung grant visa ng nanay ko. (Your visa allows you multiple entries to Australia until 27 April 2018. You are allowed to stay for a period of 3 month(s) on each arrival)
Pero wala pa yung sa tatay at pamangkin ko hanggang ngaun. Minsan ba talaga na di nagkakasabay na dumating? Gusto ko sana magsend ng email pero di ko alam email nila.
Pwede ba bigyan nyo ko ng email add ng immi sa Pinas please.
Thank you,
