Benefits of the Child Visa (Subclass 445)

Here’s how Subclass 445 Dependent Child Visa can help your child live, study, and grow in Australia:

Live in
Australia

This visa allows your child to live with you in Australia for the entire length of your student or temporary visa, ensuring your family can stay together while you focus on your studies or work.

Work and Study Rights

Your child can study at an Australian school or institution, and also work part-time (up to 40 hours per fortnight while school is in session). This helps your child gain valuable experience and support themselves during their stay.

Access to Healthcare

Your child may be eligible for Australia’s public healthcare system (Medicare), ensuring their health needs are covered while in Australia.

Travel Freely

The visa allows your child to travel in and out of Australia during its validity. This means they can visit home during breaks or explore other countries.

Stay for the Duration of Your Visa

The Subclass 445 visa is linked to your visa, meaning your child can stay in Australia for as long as you hold your student or temporary visa, providing stability and peace of mind.

At Knowbal, we’re here to guide you every step of the way to help your child make the most of these opportunities in Australia.

Let us assist you with the visa process so your family can enjoy all the benefits of living in Australia together.

Eligibility Requirements for the Dependent Child Visa (Subclass 445)

Before applying for the Subclass 445 Dependent Child Visa, it’s essential to make sure you meet the required eligibility criteria.

Eligibility as a Primary Visa Holder

To apply for this visa for your child, you must hold either the Subclass 309 (Partner (Provisional)) visa or the Subclass 820 (Partner (Temporary)) visa. These are temporary visas granted to individuals in the process of applying for a permanent partner visa.

Age Requirement

Your child must be under 18 years old. If your child is over 18, they may still be eligible if they are financially dependent on you.

Health and Character Checks

As part of the application process, your child will need to pass certain health checks to ensure they do not have conditions that could pose a risk to public health. They will also need to provide a police clearance (or character certificate) to confirm they do not have any serious criminal convictions.

Required Documents

You’ll need to submit the following documents as part of the application:

- Child’s IDs: Identity Documents of your child.
- Child’s Passport: Your child’s valid passport.
- Health Check Documents: Evidence of the child’s medical examination
- Character Documents: Police clearance or a character certificate for your child, depending on their age.
- Financial Documents: Provide financial documents of your child if they’re over 18 years of age.

Photographs: Include your child’s recent photographs.

Proof of Relationship: This includes the child’s birth certificate or adoption papers to confirm the child is legally your dependent.

Please note: The Subclass 445 Dependent Child Visa is temporary. It allows your child to stay in Australia while your permanent Partner visa application (Subclass 100 or Subclass 801) is being processed.

At Knowbal, we’ll ensure you meet these eligibility criteria and help gather all the necessary documents to submit a complete and successful visa application.
