A pathway for recent international graduates to stay on in Australia, gain local work experience, and plan their next move.
The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) lets eligible international students remain in Australia after finishing a recognised course, so they can work locally and, in many cases, bring eligible family members along. There are three separate streams depending on your qualification level and where you studied, each with a different length of stay, and once you apply for one, you can't switch to another, so getting the right stream from the start really matters.
We check which stream actually fits your qualification and visa history, confirm your study requirement is met, and prepare a complete application before your eligibility window closes.
Confirming which of the three streams matches your qualification and visa history before you commit to one.
Making sure your course and provider meet the current criteria.
Organising evidence of your qualification.
Application lodgement, filed correctly the first time; family applications, partner and child visas prepared alongside yours where eligible.
So this visa fits into your longer-term goals rather than being a dead end.
We review your qualification and timeline.
Lodgement of your application.
