Visa Requirements for Minors in Australia: what actually matters to know

Short answer
Visa applications for minors at Australian language schools are expedited, with concurrent processing often occurring even if biometrics are submitted separately. Form 1229 is only required when a child travels without both parents, and financial sponsors should be clearly identified within the application.

From real experience

Visa applications for minors attending Australian language schools are processed faster than standard tourist visas.
Even if biometrics are submitted on different dates, visas are often granted concurrently and with expedited processing times.
