How can your children soon reunite with your family in Australia with a Subclass 445 visa

To be reunited and live together in Australia, most parents who are temporary residents apply for a Subclass 445 visa to sponsor their dependent child. For this reason, VEM will provide you with the information, process, and requirements of this visa.
What is a Subclass 445 visa?
Subclass 445 is a temporary visa that allows a child to stay in Australia while their parent’s permanent Partner Visa application is in progress.
You (applicant) must be a child or stepchild of your parent who is the sponsor. This visa belongs to the Australian Family visas and can not be extended for a longer stay.

Benefits of a Subclass 445 visa
Residence benefits | The applicant can temporarily stay in Australia for the duration of the sponsor’s marriage visa. |
Free entries benefits | Travel to and from Australia as many times as you want during the duration of the Subclass 445 visa. |
Social security benefits | Enroll in Australia’s public healthcare scheme, Medicare. |
Education benefits | The applicant has the right to study and work in Australia. In particular, applicants can study for more than 550 hours with a free English learning program for Australian immigrants (AME – Australian Migration English Program). |
Sponsor family member benefits | Brothers, sisters who meet the applicant’s conditions can come to Australia together by applying for a separate visa. |
The family needs to make sure to understand the benefits that the Subclass 445 visa brings before applying. This helps applicants know how to make the most of their benefits while in Australia.
If you are not sure about that, the family should use VEM’s Australian visa consultation service. Because the person who directly provides advice is a professional migration consultant licensed by the Australian Government (MARN: 157877).
