Category overview
What this category covers
The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) is for eligible international graduates after Australian study. Its vocational and higher-education streams have different qualification, occupation and evidence settings.
Age, timing after a Student visa, Australian study, English, health insurance and mandatory evidence are important. Applicants should identify the correct stream before lodging because the Department states that streams cannot be changed after application.
