Can a child on a visitor visa apply for 802?

Sometimes. It depends on the visa they hold and whether they can apply in Australia. Get that checked before the visitor visa ends.

EMC Australia / Subclass 802

A dependent child already in Australia.

802 is the in-Australia child visa. You need to understand how the child stays lawful while it is decided. This is not a partner visa for a child.

A visitor or student visa is about to end and the child should be applying as a child

A visitor visa ending next week is a timing problem, not a paperwork problem.
