Australia offers post-study work visas under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), allowing international graduates to gain work experience. The stream you qualify for depends on your qualifications and study location.
The Post-Study Work Stream is for graduates of higher education degrees (bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral). It grants 2-4 years of stay, depending on the qualification. The Graduate Work Stream is for vocational graduates and provides 18 months, requiring skills assessment in an occupation on the skilled list.
Eligibility includes recent study in Australia, meeting English proficiency, and holding a valid student visa. Applicants must apply within six months of course completion.
