What visa could the kid be under? Would've thought that would be the first hurdle, no?

In this situation the mother will need to contact AFP .
Properly take a few years to get the kid back to cambodia maybe longer if the father has gone offgrid.

Australia is a great country with a good healthcare system in place,not to mention great business opportunities.

so in a case of a custody hearing , the best interest of the child are not taken into when assigning custody? cant believe Australia is that backwards..

What visa could the kid be under?

has Australian passport...visa not needed....

If I were the Aussie father I would fly to Bangkok, leaving Cambodia on the Cambodian passport (no visa needed) and continue on the Australian passport from there. Leaving the country, nor entering Australia, was the problem I guess. The question is: what rights does the mother have in this case, and how to enforce - assuming the mother wants to.

Doubtful there would be a custody hearing, the father has kidnapped the child and taken it across international borders, numerous cases the the other way in Australia which the father kidnaps the child and takes it to a country with no extradition treaty with Australia.

Didnt the OP state the child has a Australian passport? If so, no visa is required.

@richard for a father to win 100% custody he would have to prove the mother is unfit,which is hard .unless she has prior convictions for drug/child abuse etc.

The mother needs to contact the Australian embassy ASAP

for Thailand and America this is not true. had no trouble getting sole custody of my child and mother was not a druggie or beat her daughter, It came down to who could provide a better life

The op is a bit unclear to me as to whom has what passport. If the kid has an Aussie passport, how?
Sorry, maybe being thick here....

In some ways Richard Australia is behind the times in regards to family law.

If it was me I would bypass the OZ embassy in Cambodia.
Get an alert on his and the childs passport so he cant leave Oz

You apply for Australian citizenship at VFS Global in Phnom Penh Tower, once that is received you apply for an Australian passport at the embassy, it's not a difficult process.
