1. What is the Child Visa (Subclass 101)?

The Child Visa (Subclass 101) is a permanent Australian visa that allows eligible children living outside Australia to join their Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen parent and live permanently in Australia.

Eligible applicants must be outside Australia, sponsored by an eligible parent, be single, and generally be under 18 years of age. Children aged 18–24 may qualify if they are full-time students and financially dependent on their parents, while those over 18 with a disability may also be eligible if they meet the visa requirements.

Processing times for the Child Visa (Subclass 101) vary depending on the applicant’s circumstances, the completeness of the application, and the Department of Home Affairs’ processing priorities. Submitting all required documents can help avoid unnecessary delays.

Applicants generally need identity documents, birth certificates, evidence of the relationship with the sponsoring parent, sponsorship documents, passport copies, health examination results, character documents (if applicable), and any required custody or consent documents. Additional evidence may be requested depending on the individual case.
