Applicant obligations
The child must comply with all Australian laws and any conditions imposed on their visa.

- provide information and advice to help the child settle in Australia.
- provide support as required to enable them to attend any required English language classes.
- advise the department in writing if their circumstances change in a way that may affect the child's eligibility for a Child visa, or the sponsor's eligibility to sponsor the child.
Other obligations may apply if the sponsor has been requested to provide an Assurance of Support (AoS) for the child.
