About this Event
What happens when a dependent child grows into adulthood in Australia?
Visa Talk at Sunset: Beyond 23 is a three-part educational and community discussion series exploring the experiences of young adults who came to Australia as dependent children on their parents’ temporary visas, but later face the possibility of no longer being included in their parents’ future visa pathway.
Through real stories and moderated conversations, the series will look at what it is like to grow up in Australia as part of a migrant family, the uncertainty that can arise when a young adult’s visa circumstances begin to differ from their parents’, and why families should start thinking about future pathways before the relevant age threshold is reached.
