About this copy
Original factual summaries describing what each official form is for and who lodges it. No form fields, layout or text are reproduced; the official PDF remains the only form.
Platform-authored navigation; no lawyer or registered migration agent reviewed this catalogue. It does not assess eligibility, points or suitability for any person.
Purpose
This form allows a person holding an Extended Eligibility (Dependent Child, subclass 445) visa to be added to a parent's permanent partner visa application. It provides the pathway for that child, and any of their own dependants, to be included so the permanent partner outcome can extend to them.
Who lodges it
The subclass 445 dependent child visa holder (or a person acting on their behalf where the child is a minor), in connection with a parent's existing partner visa process.
When it is used
Used where a parent has been granted a provisional or temporary partner visa but not yet the permanent partner visa, and their subclass 445 dependent child needs to be added to that permanent application to avoid losing their permanent visa pathway.
