The Home Affairs Consent Form (Form 1229) is the official document required when a child under 18 years travels on an Australian visa and a parent or legal guardian cannot be present to sign the visa application. This consent form confirms that the child has permission to travel and that the accompanying adult is authorized to act on the child’s behalf.
