“Subclass 101 is a permanent visa that allows a child to live in Australia with their parent.”

Because Families Belong Together.

The Subclass 101 Child Visa is designed for parents who are already Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens, and want their child to grow up in Australia with them. It’s not a temporary arrangement. It’s a permanent solution.

• Permanent residency from the start :
Once granted, your child becomes an Australian permanent resident immediately. There’s no provisional stage and no follow-up visa required.

• Built for real families, not paperwork:
This visa is for dependent children living outside Australia whose parent is settled or eligible to settle in Australia. The focus is on family unity — not points, skills, or employment.

• Full access to education and healthcare:
Your child can attend school in Australia and is covered under Medicare, ensuring healthcare and education support from day one.

• Long-term security for your child :
As a permanent resident, your child can live, study, and work in Australia without restrictions and grow up with the same stability as other Australian residents.

• A clear path to citizenship :
Once residency requirements are met, your child can apply for Australian citizenship in the normal timeframe, with no additional visa hurdles.

This visa isn’t about migration strategy. It’s about giving your child a secure life, education, and future in Australia, alongside their family.
