Do kids need police checks for a visa?
My kids are 12 and almost 14 years old, I was wondering what age police checks are needed for a visa and if my kids will need to have them too?

Think they need them when they get to 16 years old.

Re: Do kids need police checks for a visa?
Your kids do not require police checks. Visit www.immi.gov.au .
The following is the guidance taken directly from the above web site.
For the Australian Government to determine whether you are of good character, you may be asked to provide police certificates for each country you have lived in for 12 months or more over the last ten (10) years since turning 16.
If you are applying outside Australia, you do not have to provide this information when you apply. You will be advised when it is required.
You are also required to complete Form 80 if 16 and over.
Good luck
