Graduating from an Australian institution is just the beginning of your journey. The Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) allows international graduates to live, work, and gain valuable experience in Australia after completing their studies. This visa provides a unique opportunity to enhance your skills, build your career, and lay the foundation for your future in Australia.

Why Choose the Subclass 485 Visa?

• Work in Australia: The Subclass 485 visa grants you the right to work full-time in Australia, giving you the freedom to apply your skills in the Australian job market and gain practical experience.
• Multiple Streams: The visa is available in two streams: the Graduate Work Stream and the Post-Study Work Stream, each tailored to different types of graduates and their career goals.
• Stay Up to 4 Years: Depending on your qualification and the stream you apply under, you can stay in Australia for up to four years, providing ample time to explore employment opportunities and establish your professional network.
• Pathway to Permanent Residency: The experience and connections you gain during your stay on a Subclass 485 visa can significantly enhance your eligibility for permanent residency in Australia.
• Include Family Members: You can include your eligible family members in your visa application, allowing them to join you and share in your Australian experience.

Streams of the Subclass 485 Visa

1. Graduate Work Stream:
   Designed for international students who have recently graduated with skills and qualifications that relate to an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).

2. Post-Study Work Stream:
   Available to international students who have recently graduated with a higher education degree from an Australian institution, regardless of their field of study.
