Australian Citizenship by Birth

Australian Citizenship by Birth.

Children born in Australia automatically acquire Australian citizenship if at least one parent is an Australian citizen, or permanent resident, at the time of the child’s birth.

Children born in Australia where neither parent is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, at the time of the child’s birth, are NOT normally eligible for Australian Citizenship.

Children born outside Australia to parents who are Australian Permanent Residents, but not Australian citizens, do not automatically acquire Australian citizenship, nor are they eligible for citizenship by descent. Most children born outside Australia to permanent resident parents will need to apply for a Child visa, to be able to enter Australia.
