EMC Australia / Subclass 445
Usually a child of a partner-visa applicant who was not on the original application.
445 is a different visa from 101/802. Timing against the parent’s partner visa matters. If the child should have been included at the start, we will say so.
Who this page is for
- A partner visa is running and a child was not included

The parent’s partner visa
445 usually depends on the parent holding or applying for a partner visa.
Lodging 445 at the wrong stage is how children are stranded.

How we help
01
Include them, or 445
If the child can still be added to the parent’s application, that can be cleaner. If not, 445. We check the partner file first.
