How FormMate 80 Works

By FormMate 80  ·  Updated June 2026

In brief: FormMate 80 is a free guided wizard for filling Australia's Form 80 online. You answer structured questions, your progress is saved automatically, and you download a completed Form 80 PDF. You then review the PDF and submit it yourself through ImmiAccount. FormMate 80 does not submit the form on your behalf and does not provide migration advice.

Step-by-step: how it works

1
Create or access your form
Sign up for a free account using your email and password or Google. Your account stores your form progress securely. You can also resume from an existing account if you have started before.
2
Answer guided questions
FormMate 80 presents one question at a time. Each question includes a plain-English explanation of what is required. Date fields use drop-down pickers. Address, travel, and employment entries use structured row-by-row tables. You can go back and edit any answer at any point.
3
Save progress
Your answers are saved automatically as you go. You can close the app and return at any time. Your progress is linked to your account, so you can resume on any device. There is no session timeout.
4
Review every section
The review screen shows all your answers part by part. Click Edit next to any section to go back and update your answers. Review carefully before downloading — errors are easier to catch before download than during visa processing.
5
Generate completed PDF
Click Download. FormMate 80 fills the official Department of Home Affairs Form 80 PDF with your answers and returns it to your browser for download. The PDF uses the official DIBP Form 80 template (Design date 03/21) with your data placed correctly in all 734 form fields.
6
Submit through the correct official channel
Review your completed Form 80 PDF thoroughly. Then upload it to your ImmiAccount application as an attachment, or follow your case officer's specific submission instructions. FormMate 80 does not submit the form on your behalf.
