Australian Child Visas

Australian Child Visas allow eligible children — biological, adopted, or stepchildren — to obtain permanent residency and reunite with their parents in Australia. These visas provide immediate access to Medicare, public education, and a clear pathway to Australian citizenship.

Applications can be lodged either offshore (Subclass 101) or onshore (Subclass 802), depending on the child’s location at the time of application. Unlike many other migration programs, child visas are not subject to annual caps, and a significant number are finalised within standard processing timeframes.

Because child visa applications rely heavily on parental consent, custody documentation, and health requirements, careful preparation is essential. A properly structured application ensures compliance with legal consent obligations and avoids delays that can affect the entire family’s migration outcome.

For parents seeking certainty and long-term stability for their children, child visas offer one of the most secure and permanent migration pathways available.
