This section is for Australian citizens or legal residents who wish to bring their children, either natural-born or adopted, to Australia. The child needs to be still fully dependent on his or her parents, even if over 18 years of age.

A package of forms from the Australian authorities will cost you AUD$10 for a child migrant. To fill in the forms and make your application it will cost a further AUD$1055. If your application fails this money is not refundable.

To save yourself AUD$1065 (and much heartache, both for yourself and the children) you can do a self-assessment.
