The Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) is a post-study work visa granted by the Australian Government to eligible international graduates. This visa allows recent graduates to stay in Australia temporarily and gain practical work experience related to their field of study. It is designed to help graduates transition from student life to the professional world while contributing their skills to the Australian economy.
The subclass 485 visa has two main streams: the Graduate Work stream and the Post-Study Work stream. The Graduate Work stream is for graduates with skills and qualifications in demand in Australia, while the Post-Study Work stream is available to those who have completed a higher education degree in Australia.
Holding this visa provides an excellent opportunity for graduates to improve their employability, build a career, and explore permanent residency options. Many international students use the Temporary Graduate Visa as a crucial step toward achieving long-term migration goals in Australia.
Once you are granted the temporary graduate visa 485, you must comply with the 485 visa conditions. which include:
