## When to use it

Use when a child under 18 needs permission from a non-accompanying parent, or from a person with parental responsibility, for an Australian visa. The PDF says it is not for resident return, ETA or eVisitor applicants under 18.

## Used for these tasks

## How AI may be used

Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.

**AI may:**

- List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
- Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
- Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.

**AI must not:**

- Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
- Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
- Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit, statutory declaration or other sworn evidence.
- Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.

**The lawyer checks:**

- The PDF says who signs: each non-accompanying parent or person with parental responsibility, unless one person is solely responsible.
- Attach the certified birth certificate, identity document and any sole-responsibility evidence the PDF lists.
- One identity document must include a signature.
- Do not use this form for a resident return visa, an ETA or an eVisitor applicant under 18. The PDF says so.
