 Introduction to Australian Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485):

The Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) is designed for international students who have recently completed their studies in Australia and wish to gain valuable work experience. This visa allows eligible graduates to remain in Australia temporarily to work or study after completing their studies. It provides a pathway for skilled graduates to gain work experience in their field of study and potentially qualify for other long-term visas, such as the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) or the Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190).

Types of Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485):

There are two streams under the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485), each with its own set of requirements:

1. Graduate Work Stream: This stream is for international students who have completed qualifications in certain occupations that are in demand in Australia. It grants a visa for up to 18 months.
2. Post-Study Work Stream: This stream is for international students who have completed a Bachelor's degree or higher qualification in Australia. The length of the visa under this stream depends on the highest qualification obtained:
   
   • Bachelor's degree: 2 years
   • Master's degree: 2 to 3 years
   • Doctoral degree: 4 years
