Including Family Members in Your Application

What it is for

This is an information sheet explaining which family members may be included in certain visa applications and the general requirements and evidence involved. It sets out how partners, children (including newborn children), and, for some visa types, other relatives may be treated as members of the family unit.

Who completes it

This is guidance material rather than a lodged form; it is read by the primary visa applicant considering whether to include family members.

Information it collects (in general terms)

As an information sheet it gathers no applicant data itself; it explains general categories of information and evidence that may be needed elsewhere, such as relationship and dependency evidence, identity and birth documentation, and consent arrangements for children under 18.

When it is used

Used as reference when a person is preparing a visa application and needs to understand whether and how family members can be included, or when notifying the Department about a newborn child added to a pending application.
