The Australian government recognises the need for families to live together, and provides child visas to further assist this. Child visas in Australia accommodate various family scenarios, including dependent children joining their parents, adopted children, and so on. Families and parents intending to reunite or provide their children with greater opportunities in Australia must be aware of the visa options available in the country.

Currently, these are the child visas available in Australia:

• Subclass 102 (Adoption) Visa
• Subclass 101 (Child) Visa
• Subclass 802 (Child) Visa

Other visas such as Dependent Child (Subclass 445) Visa are also available in Australia.
