The Subclass 101 Child visa allows children from outside Australia to live with their parents permanently in Australia
Child Visa holders can:
• migrate to Australia as a permanent resident
• study
• access Medicare
• apply for Australian citizenship (if eligible)
Applying for a Child Visa
To be eligible to apply for a Child Subclass 101 visa, a child must meet the below requirements:
• be outside Australia at the time of application and the time of decision
• have a parent or step-parent who is an Australian permanent resident or citizen
• be under 18, a full-time student between 18 to 25 years, or over 18 and unable to work due to a disability
• is financially dependent on the parent
Each child will submit a separate application. If the child has siblings, each sibling will be the primary applicant of their own application.
Applicants must meet the Australian health and character requirements
