🚨 EXPECTING A BABY ON A SUBCLASS 485 VISA? IMPORTANT!

Planning to have your baby overseas while holding a Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa? You need to understand the recent changes.

From 13 November 2026, separate Subclass 485 Subsequent Entrant applications are no longer available.

- If your baby is born in Australia, Section 78 of the Migration Act 1958 may allow the child to receive the same visa as the parents.
- If your baby is born overseas, the child will not automatically receive the parents' visa.
- You can no longer sponsor your spouse or children through a separate 485 Subsequent Entrant application.
- Eligible family members must generally be included in the original combined Subclass 485 application.

Planning to apply for a Subclass 485 visa or expecting a baby? Understand the implications before making decisions about your family and visa arrangements.
