Dependent Child visa (subclass 445)

A temporary visa, Dependent Child visa (subclass 445) is for a child whose parent holds a temporary partner visa that does not include the child. If this visa is granted, the child also needs to make a permanent partner visa application before the parent’s permanent partner visa is decided. If an applicant gets this child visa subclass 445, it allows the child to travel to and from or stay in Australia. The successful candidate under this visa procedure will be entitled to live in Australia until the Department of Home Affairs decides on the parent’s permanent partner visa application.

This visa can be granted only if you can show one of the following for a child younger than 18 years of age:

  • you have the written consent of each person who lawfully decides where the child lives
  • the laws of the child’s home country permit the removal of the child
  • it is in accordance with any child order in Australia.
