How to add your child to your Partner visa.
The Dependent Child (subclass 445) visa is a temporary visa that allows a child to enter or remain in Australia on their parent’s temporary Partner visa. The visa acts as a bridge to later allow the child to be assessed for permanent residency as the dependent family member on the parent’s permanent Partner visa.
To be eligible for the subclass 445 visa, the following foundation conditions must be met:
The child must be a dependent child of a person who holds a temporary Partner visa:
The child must be under 18 years old.
Children over 18 may be eligible if they are financially dependent on the sponsoring parent or has total or partial loss of their function to work.
The child must be sponsored by the same person who is sponsoring the parent's Partner visa.
Once granted, the child must then be added to the parent’s permanent Partner visa application. The child will then be considered alongside the parent for permanent residency.
