Consent to Grant an Australian Visa to a Child Under the Age of 18 Years

What it is for

This consent form records the permission of a non-accompanying parent or a person with parental responsibility for a child under 18 to be granted an Australian visa for travel to or stay in Australia. It is used to confirm consent where a child intends to travel and a responsible adult is not accompanying them.

Who completes it

A non-accompanying parent, or a person with lawful parental responsibility for the child, signs and provides the form; where one person is solely responsible for deciding where the child lives, only that person needs to sign.

Information it collects (in general terms)

It gathers identifying details of each child, identifying and contact details of the consenting parent or responsible person, the intended purpose of travel (temporary or permanent), and a signed consent, supported by attached documents such as birth certificates and identity evidence.

When it is used

It is used when a child under 18 intends to travel to Australia and a non-accompanying parent or responsible person is required to give consent to the visa grant; it does not apply to Resident Return visa, Electronic Travel Authority or eVisitor applicants under 18.
