Yes. An eVisitor is linked to one passport, so every member of the family needs their own — including a baby travelling on a parent's lap.
How to apply for a child
The application is made in the child's own name, using the child's own passport. A parent or guardian can complete it on their behalf. The visa is free for children as well; there is no separate fee.
Check the passport first
Children's passports are often issued for shorter periods than adults'. A passport that expires during the 12-month validity is a common cause of trouble later, because the visa is tied to the passport it was granted against.
If a child travels with one parent or with someone else
Australia may ask about consent arrangements at the border. Carrying a letter of consent from the non-travelling parent, and a copy of any custody documentation, is not a visa requirement but it removes a predictable delay.

More on the eVisitor
After you land
Your visa gets you on the plane. What comes after — SmartGate, cash, tax refunds, healthcare, driving, emergencies — checked against official sources.
SmartGate on arrival
Arrival SmartGates take travellers aged 7+ on any valid passport during an ABF trial. The paper Incoming Passenger Card is still required.
Healthcare
Visitors from 11 countries, including Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, get some public care. Germany, France, Spain, Korea, China and Taiwan are not covered.
New passport
The visa is linked to the passport it was granted against. Renewing or replacing that passport does not cancel the visa, but you must tell the Department.
Which one do I need?
Similar names, very different rules. Which scheme applies to which destination, what each costs, and the mistakes that come from mixing them up.
Liquids in hand luggage
On international flights from Australia, liquids, aerosols and gels must be in 100 mL containers in one clear bag. Inorganic powders are limited too.
