abz123 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I know that you can't take a child out of Australia without the other half's consent, but what about if they are travelling with their grandparents? Situation is that my MIL is coming down from the UK and is going to take our daughter up to Singapore for a holiday. FIL will join them there when he crew changes from the vessel he is working on. We will go up and join them later in the holiday but just wanted to know if we have to do/sign anything to let our daughter leave with grandma. Thanks in advance.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 No you don't unless there is a court order on the child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Ah, so it's only if the courts are involved. No issue there then. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cez Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think it would be best to provide them with some letter of consent to take the child out of the country just in case you're asked for it - see towards the bottom of the page here - http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/tips/children.html i remember looking at this before in case I wanted to take my niece on holiday outside of the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks Cez. We would be dropping them both off at the airport but that's a good idea for when they go through security / departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
