Temporary Graduate Visa – Subclass 485

After finishing your studies in Australia, you may be able to apply for a Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa in order to stay for an additional 12 months in order to get work experience. Depending on your qualifications, this visa could grant you four years in Australia, or five years if you hold a passport from Hong Kong. With this visa, you can visit Australia and stay there for up to three months, during which time you can work, attend school, or study. There are two primary categories for the Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa:

Graduate Work stream—for qualified overseas graduates whose education and work experience align with an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).

Post-Study Work stream— Foreign nationals who have earned a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree from an approved Australian higher education institution are welcome to apply for the Post-Study Work stream.

Second– the Post-Study Work Stream is reserved for first-time Temporary Graduate visa-holders who have completed their studies and are ready to enter the workforce. This refers to a visa holder who has earned a degree from a school in a particular part of Australia.

What sort of work can I do on this visa?

The subclass 485 visa has no limitations on your employment scope or hours worked.

Do I need to locate a sponsoring employer in order to apply for this visa?

This visa does not necessitate sponsorship from an employer in order to be issued. If you plan to use this visa to work in Australia, you must make your own employment arrangements.
