Australia offers several types of humanitarian visas to individuals who are fleeing persecution, war, or other significant and ongoing human rights abuses. The different types of humanitarian visas include:

1. Refugee visa (subclass 200): This visa category is for individuals who are outside their home country and are unable or unwilling to return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

2. In-country Special Humanitarian visa (subclass 201): This visa category is for individuals who are living in their home country and are subject to substantial discrimination amounting to gross violation of human rights.

3. Global Special Humanitarian visa (subclass 202): This visa category is for individuals who are subject to substantial discrimination amounting to gross violation of human rights and are proposed by an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

4. Emergency Rescue visa (subclass 203): This visa category is for individuals who are in urgent and life-threatening situations, such as natural disasters or armed conflicts.

The requirements and eligibility criteria for each type of humanitarian visa can vary, and there may be waiting periods or processing times involved. It is important to carefully review the requirements and seek professional advice before applying for a humanitarian visa in Australia.
