Post-Study Work Arrangements for Subclass 485 visa Holders
Arrangements for Post-Study Work are now available. Amongst the many Recommendations of the Knight Review, these arrangements are proposed, but must yet be approved by the Governor-General. It is anticipated that they will commence in early 2013, possibly in March.
The Subclass 485 visa will be renamed the Temporary Graduate (Subclass 485) visa, and it will have two streams:
Graduate Work Stream
Will remain similar to the current Subclass 485 visa arrangements.
Post-Study Work Stream
Only available to those who applied for their first Student visas after the introduction of the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement on 5 November 2011. People who applied for Student visas prior to 5 November 2011 will have to use the Graduate Work Stream if eligible;
Must have completed an Australian qualification with six months before applying for the Post-Study Work Stream visa;
Must meet the Australian study requirement (ie, CRICOS course(s) for at least 92 weeks, completed in no less than 16 months);
Must be less than 50 years old;
Must be in Australia;
Must have Competent English (ie, IELTS or OET test, or hold a passport from the UK, Canada, New Zealand, the US or the Republic of Ireland);
Australian qualification must be at AQF Level 7 higher (ie, Bachelor. Masters, Doctorate)
Can hold a packaged lower qualification such as Graduate Certificate or Diploma that articulated into a completed Masters degree;
Does not require a nominated occupation.
Visa validity
Doctoral graduates: Four years
Masters by research: Four years
Bachelor and Masters by coursework: Two years
The Subclass 485 visa can only be held once, meaning current 485 visa holders cannot access the Post-Study Work stream. All current Subclass 485 visa holders will have work and study rights.
