Application for a Subclass 445 (Temporary) Visa by a Dependent Child

What it is for

This form is used by a dependent child to apply for an Extended Eligibility (temporary) Dependent Child (Subclass 445) visa. The visa lets the child travel to, enter, or remain in Australia while a decision is pending on their parent's permanent partner visa application, and the form includes a declaration about Australian values and obeying Australian law.

Who completes it

The applicant is the dependent child of a parent who holds or has been granted a subclass 445 visa or a temporary or provisional Partner visa; where the child is under 16, a parent, relative or guardian may complete and sign on their behalf, and a sponsor completes their own details.

Information it collects (in general terms)

General categories include the child applicant's personal and identity details, information about the parent's visa and the dependency relationship, the sponsor's details, payment details, and a signed values-and-law declaration.

When it is used

Used when a dependent child needs a temporary visa to remain lawfully in Australia while a parent's permanent partner visa application is being decided.
