Graduate Visa

The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) allows eligible recent graduates to stay in Australia temporarily and gain work experience after completing their studies. The visa has different streams based on the level of qualification, with the stay period depending on the stream and eligibility requirements.

Three streams, one visa: Post-Vocational, Post-Higher Education, and Second Post-Higher Education.

Service Process

Your eligibility depends on timing as much as your qualification. Age limits and English test validity have changed recently, and we check where you actually stand before the window to apply narrows.

The graduate visa process runs on three commitments:

We assess your eligibility based on the latest visa requirements and current regulations.

We identify the right visa stream based on the qualification you have completed.

We help you plan your next pathway well before your Graduate visa expires.

Am I eligible for a graduate visa?

Eligibility depends on holding an eligible qualification, applying within the required window after study, and meeting current age and English requirements, which have changed more than once in recent years. A consultation checks eligibility against current settings.

Which stream applies to me?

The three streams (Post-Vocational, Post-Higher Education, and Second Post-Higher Education) are matched to qualification level, not chosen freely, so the completed course determines the stream.

Does where I studied affect my visa length?

Study location can affect stay length in some circumstances, particularly for regional study, though the specific rules have changed and are confirmed at consultation.

What happens when the graduate visa ends?

Many graduates use the period to gain the work experience needed for a skilled visa. Planning the next step usually starts well before the graduate visa expires, not after.
