What is 1002?

Form 1002 is a Department of Home Affairs application used where a dependent child already holds a Dependent Child (subclass 445) visa and needs to be included in a parent application for a permanent Partner visa. The subclass 445 visa is a temporary visa granted to a dependent child of a person who holds a provisional partner visa, and it does not lead to permanent residence on its own.

The form collects the child details, passport and travel document information, health and character declarations, and the link to the sponsoring parent partner application. It is completed alongside the wider partner visa case rather than on its own, and the permanent partner visa decision covers the child once the parent application is finalised.

Who files 1002?

  • Dependent children who hold a subclass 445 visa and want to be added to a permanent partner visa
  • A parent or guardian completing the form on behalf of a child
  • Sponsors managing a partner visa application that already includes a subclass 445 child
  • Applicants directed by Home Affairs to lodge form 1002 for a child

How to fill out 1002

  1. Enter the child full name, date of birth, and passport or travel document details exactly as they appear on the passport.
  2. Record the subclass 445 visa details and link the application to the sponsoring parent permanent partner visa case.
  3. Complete the health, character and residence questions, and note any name changes or previous visa history.
  4. Have a parent or guardian sign where the child cannot sign, and check the current fee at the agency site.
  5. Attach the requested identity and relationship documents and lodge the form with the Department of Home Affairs as part of the partner visa application.
Worth knowing: Form 1002 is completed as part of a wider permanent partner visa application, not on its own. Keep the child subclass 445 visa valid until the permanent decision is made.

Frequently asked questions

Does a subclass 445 visa lead to permanent residence?

No. The subclass 445 is a temporary Dependent Child visa. Form 1002 is how the child is added to the parent permanent Partner visa application so the child can be considered for permanent residence.

Can the child stay in Australia while the application is processed?

A valid subclass 445 visa keeps the child lawful while the permanent partner visa is being decided. Confirm the visa conditions and expiry, and tell Home Affairs promptly if circumstances change.
