About the Subclass 101 Child Visa
The Subclass 101 Child visa is a permanent visa that allows children of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia with their parents. Unlike temporary options, this visa grants permanent residency from the start, providing security and access to a wide range of benefits.
This visa is designed for dependent children outside Australia at the time of application and grant. It applies to biological children, adopted children, and step-children (in certain circumstances). Once approved, the child gains permanent residency with full work, study, and travel rights, as well as access to healthcare and a future pathway to Australian citizenship.
Eligibility for the Subclass 101 Child Visa
Sponsor Requirements
- Be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
- Be the child’s parent, step-parent (in some cases), or adoptive parent.
- Agree to provide accommodation and financial support for the child during their initial settlement in Australia.
- Obtain legal consent from any other person with custody rights over the child.
- A step-parent who is not in a relationship with the child’s parent anymore, but who still has a legal duty to care for the child, and the child is under 18 years old.
- An adoptive parent who legally adopted the child before you became an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident visa holder, or an eligible New Zealand citizen.
Applicant (Child) Requirements
- Be sponsored by an eligible parent.
- Be outside Australia at the time of application and grant.
- Be under 18 years of age, OR between 18–25 and a full-time student financially dependent on the sponsoring parent, OR over 18 and unable to work due to a disability.
- Be single (not married, engaged, or in a de facto relationship).
- Meet health and character requirements.
- Provide all necessary identity and relationship documents.
