The types of Australian Partner visas:

Partner Subclass 820/801
A temporary / permanent visa for partner of Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen who are in Australia
Offshore Partner Visa
Partner Subclass 309/100
A temporary/ Permanent visa for partner of Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen who are outside Australia.
Prospective Marriage Subclass 300
A temporary visa for individuals who are engaged to an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen who are outside Australia.
The Partner visa combines a temporary and a permanent visa into one application. The temporary visa is granted first, allowing the partner to live in Australia for a specified period of time (usually 2 years). After the couple has been in a genuine relationship for at least 2 years, the permanent visa can be granted.
