If parents with permanent residency visas arrive in Australia with their two babies who don't have permanent residency visas, can they be turned away? [closed]

My partner and I, and our first son were granted Permanent Residency visas for Australia a couple of years ago. Since then we've had 2 more kids. We're all Irish.

We're now ready to make the move, but we've since discovered that we need to get the same Visas for the 2 new children.

The embassy says that we need to get the visas before bringing them into the country.

What are our options?

Would it be possible for us to get visitor visas for them and then apply for the children's permanent residency visas when we arrive?

Is there a risk that they'd be turned away by the border police if they arrive in the country on a 1-way ticket with visitor visas, even if they're in the company of their parents and brother - all of whom have the permanent residency visas?
