Purpose

Who lodges it
A non-accompanying parent, or a person with lawful parental responsibility for the child, signs and provides the form; where one person is solely responsible for deciding where the child lives, only that person needs to sign.
When it is used
It is used when a child under 18 intends to travel to Australia and a non-accompanying parent or responsible person is required to give consent to the visa grant; it does not apply to Resident Return visa, Electronic Travel Authority or eVisitor applicants under 18.
