Individuals who have completed a CRICOS registered course in Australia may be eligible for a Temporary Graduate work (subclass 485) visa depending on their age, country of citizenship and duration of the course.

Stream eligibility is determined by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) level of the completed course(s), with each stream requiring specific criteria to be met for the visa to be granted.

Holders of a Temporary Graduate visa granted under the Post-Higher Education Work stream may be eligible for a second graduate visa, depending on where they studied while on their student visa, and where they lived and worked while on their first graduate visa.

Although the graduate visa may appear straightforward to prepare and submit as a DIY application, we frequently encounter cases where applicants fail to meet key requirements—such as the Australian study requirement or obtaining the correct skills assessment.

We have the expertise to advise and assist you on the stream relevant to your circumstances and guide you through the entire process.
