Temporary Graduate Visa

Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) Visa gives the opportunity to gain international working experience, after graduation in Australia and it is a significant aspect in decision- making to study in Australia.

The Temporary Graduate visa has two streams:

  • Graduate Work stream

The Graduate Work stream is for international students who have the skills and qualifications that Australia needs. It is important to have an Australian degree, diploma or trade qualification closely related to an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and be assessed by a relevant assessing authority as having skills suitable for that occupation. With this stream, you can usually be granted 18 months stay in Australia.

The Post-Study Work stream is for international students who have recently completed a Bachelor, Masters or Doctoral degree, regardless of the field of study. Students who have completed a Bachelor’s Degree (including honours) and Master by coursework are granted 2 years’ stay on this visa. For completed Master by research, you can receive 3 years’ stay and for Ph.D. degree 4 years stay in Australia.

For both streams, the applicant must:

  • be under 50 years of age
