Australia Dependent Visa (Subclass 445) - What You Need To Know

Subclass 445 visa in Australia is structured for the dependent children of those eligible individuals who have their partner permanent visa under assessment. This visa allows the dependent child of applicants of a permanent partner visa to stay in the country temporarily until the decision is made on the permanent visa application form or when the child’s parents hold a temporary visa in the country and the child’s name was not included in the temporary visa application form. However, once a subclass 445 visa is granted, the child’s name must be included in their parent’s permanent partner visa.

Why to Apply for a Dependent Child Visa 445

Subclass 445 visa (dependent child) is a temporary permit to the Country. This visa allows its holders to-

Stay and in the nation while the visa is valid.
Work in the country while the visa is valid.
Study in their respective field of interest in the country while their visa is valid.
To travel to and fro from the Country while the visa is valid.
To apply for permanent residency (if eligible).

A subclass 445 visa possessor cannot extend their stay with this visa category; however, one can apply for another visa category (application form as per their eligibility).
