The Migration Legislation Amendment (Arrangements for Child Visa Applications) Instrument 2026 (LIN 26/100) has been registered, amending the postal address for certain Child and Extended Temporary visa applications. Effective from 22 September 2026, the correct address for these applications is GPO Box 241, Melbourne VIC 3001, Australia. This amendment affects the Child (Migrant) (Class AH), Child (Residence) (Class BT), and Extended Temporary (Class TK) visa classes.

While the amendment is technical and does not alter eligibility criteria or substantive requirements, migration practitioners should update their records and application processes to ensure compliance. The instrument continues to specify the approved form, manner, and place for making applications under Schedule 1 to the Migration Regulations 1994. It is crucial for those involved in the application process to note this change to avoid any processing delays.
