Hi Brit_in_aus -
Thanks for the question. They likely won't be able to help her via phone, however she could lodge (on form 424A) a Freedom of Information request for that time period requesting a copy of any application she lodged. Alternatively if the date is required on the form, you could put "01 Jan 1900" which is the "recognised" date that can be entered into a field on some visa applications when a date is required but is not known by the applicant despite best efforts. You might also include a note with the application explaining that she doesn't have the date, if she remembers the year then she could put that in the note, etc.
Hope this helps -
Best,
Mark Northam

Hi Mark! Quick question. My Aussie partner has already sponsored an ex partner. She was from Europe and the relationship ended more than fifteen years ago.
Because it was so long ago he has forgotten the date he lodged the sponsorship for her. I know we will be asked this information at the application, so just being organised!
Can he call Home Affairs or IMMI for this info? Thanks for your time! 🙂
