Australian 2018-19 Migration Program Report.
According to the 2018-19 Migration Program Report, a number equal to about 46% to 50% of each years opening balance of the first stage partner visa application are granted, and about 5% are refused.
The above is one way of looking at the visa outcome percentages.
The normal way would be looking at the percent granted or refused, based on the total number of applications finalised. This would show 90.4% of the combined grants and refusals in the 2018-19 year were granted. But note; Only 31% of the visas in the pipeline, during the year, were finalised as a grant or refusal.
2018-19 Partner Visa Application and Grant Numbers.
In the 2018-19 year there were 61,884 partner visa lodgements, first stage only (presumably just the subclasses 309 and 820).
39,918 of these were finalised, and there were 88,648 outstanding at 30 June 2019. Excluding visa withdrawals, 90.6% were granted and 9.4% refused.
2017-18 Partner Visa Application and Grant Numbers.
In the 2017-18 year there were 57,144 partner visa lodgements, first stage only (presumably just the subclasses 309 and 820).
39,799 of these were finalised, and there were 78,730 outstanding at 30 June 2018. Excluding visa withdrawals, 90.0% were granted and 10.0% refused.
2016-17 Partner Visa Application and Grant Numbers.
In the 2016-17 year there were 60,751 partner visa lodgements, first stage only (presumably just the subclasses 309 and 820).
47,825 of these were finalised, and there were 71,497 outstanding at 30 June 2017. Excluding visa withdrawals, 91.4% were granted and 8.6% refused.
Not sure if the subclass 300 applications would be included in these figures.
Calculation of Opening outstanding application, plus New Lodgements, less refusals.
