Australia offers a variety of Child Visas designed to allow children to join their parents who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.
These visas provide options for both temporary and permanent stays, catering to different family circumstances and needs.
A Partner Visa in Australia allows two people in a relationship, one of whom is not an Australian or New Zealand Citizen, to apply for a visa to stay in Australia to be with their partner. We can help with all classes of Partner Visas. Click below to find out more.
Temporary Child Visas
Dependent Child Visa (Subclass 445): This visa is for children whose parents hold a temporary Partner Visa (Subclass 309 or 820). It allows the child to stay temporarily in Australia until a decision is made on their parent’s permanent Partner Visa application.
Permanent Child Visas
The choice between Temporary and Permanent Child Visas depends on the specific circumstances of the child and their family.
These visas acknowledge the importance of family unity and provide a legal pathway for children to join their parents in Australia, whether for a temporary stay or permanent settlement.
The processing time for a Child Visa varies, depending on the type of visa and the circustances.  To get an indication of the timeframe, we suggested visiting the Department of Home Affairs website.
