Child Visas for Australia

There are various Child Visas for Australia, enabling a child to join their parent in Australia. Our team specialises in guiding families through the application process for these visas, ensuring a smooth transition.

A child is defined as being:

• Under 18 years of age
• Between 18 and 25 years old and in full-time education
• 18 years or older, unable to work due to a disability, and dependent on the sponsoring parent

The sponsoring parent must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

If you hold a provisional visa and have a child, you must apply for the child to be added to your visa.

• A child born offshore to an Australian permanent resident requires their own visa.
• A child born onshore to an Australian permanent resident is considered an Australian citizen.
• Any child (regardless of location) may qualify for Australian citizenship by descent if one parent was an Australian citizen at their birth.

Adopted children outside of Australia must apply for Subclass 102.

If you are caring for a relative’s child, due to both parents of that child being deceased, permanently incapacitated or of unknown whereabouts, they would need to apply for the Orphan Relative Subclass 117.
