Dependent Child Visa

Dependent Child Visa (Subclass 445)

This particular visa offers a temporary stay provision for the child in Australia, allowing them to reside in the country while the Department of Home Affairs processes their parent’s application for a permanent Partner visa.

During this interim period, the child gains the opportunity to experience life in Australia, attend school, engage in social activities, and be part of the family unit as the permanent visa application undergoes the necessary evaluation.
