• Joint liabilities (mortgages, leases, or loans).
• Legal documents naming each other as beneficiaries in wills or superannuation (pension) funds.

2. Household Evidence

• A joint lease agreement or evidence of joint home ownership.
• Utility bills (electricity, gas, water, internet) in both names.
• Mail or packages addressed to both of you at the same residential address.
• Statements explaining how you share housework and daily responsibilities.

3. Social Evidence

• Form 888: At least two statutory declarations from Australian citizens or permanent residents who can attest to the genuine nature of your relationship.
• Photos of the couple together with family and friends across the duration of the relationship.
• Evidence of joint travel (flight tickets, hotel bookings).
• Evidence of joint social activities or memberships.

4. Commitment Evidence

• Written statements (Statutory Declarations) from both partners detailing the history of the relationship, future plans, and significant life events.
• Evidence of maintained contact during periods of separation (call logs, message history).
