Understanding the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485)

The Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) is designed to give eligible international graduates a chance to stay in Australia and work full-time. It has two main streams:

  1. Graduate Work Stream – for students who completed a qualification related to an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List.
  2. Post-Study Work Stream – for graduates with higher education degrees (bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate) from a CRICOS-registered institution.

As one of the leading Temporary Graduate Visa 485 Perth experts, Go Global Immigration provides end-to-end visa assistance — from eligibility assessment to visa lodgment and beyond.
