What to do if you have a baby in Australia

This video outlines what you should do from an immigration perspective in order to add your new born child to your visa (if you hold a temporary visa).
Please note, if one of the parents is a permanent resident or citizen, the child may be eligible for Australian citizenship. This video is specifically done for someone who is on a temporary visa (student, working holiday etc..).

Fortunately, if you hold a valid Temporary visa, you should be able to add the child to your visa easily. If both parents are temporary visa holders, the child will almost certainly not be an Australian citizen at birth.
Once you have a baby, you will be given a birth card from the hospital and a few weeks later you will usually receive the birth certificate in the mail from the state deaths and births registry.
Once you have received the birth certificate you should do two things:
- Notify Australian Immigration
- Request a Passport from your home country

After baby visa grant….and got passport later, where we can update the baby passport

[@moeed91]

Hi there,
Just wanted to check. You've mentioned it can take around a week for the department to grant the visa for the baby. Is this true because checking with the department, they said it might take 1 or 2 months or even longer.

Can the baby get Australian citizenship later >>Or after 10 years if stayed in Australia ? And if so: can the parents or one parent apply to stay IN AUSTRALIA to provide care TO the child in Australia? If so: would this entitle the parent/S to Australian citizenship by staying TO providing care to the child ie: for 10 years? AND IF THEY ALLOWED TO STAY: CAN THEY GET WELFARE BENEFITS FROM CENTERLINK UNDER IE : SPECIAL BENEFITS? And after that; is there any way for the parents to get citizenship on the grounds of providing care to the child and staying with him and contributing to his welfare==(UNDER THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD PROTOCOL) ??
Can a foreigner parent; in Australia, get his citizenship on the GROUNDS OF : ADOPTING AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN CHILD? IF YES: WHAT ARE THE PROCESS?? HOW MANY YEARS TO WAIT?
THANKS FOR YOUR INFORMING ANSWER

[@roymethew9945]

If my wife is pregnant at the time of application of 485 visa would it be rejected ?

[@Pathwaytoaus]

Not at all mate, should not be an issue. It will likely not just be granted until she can do the medical
