Course Description

The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) allows eligible international graduates to temporarily live, study and work in Australia after completing their studies. The current framework includes the Post-Vocational Education Work stream and Post-Higher Education Work stream, with eligibility depending on the applicant’s qualification and circumstances. This training provides immigration professionals with practical knowledge of stream selection, age and qualification requirements, Australian study requirements, English evidence, documentation and application procedures. The course is designed for immigration consultants, education advisers, visa filing professionals and caseworkers handling Australia study-to-work cases. Through World Visa Academy’s structured training, learners develop skills to assess graduate profiles, identify the correct stream, review eligibility evidence and explain work rights, regional options and subsequent immigration planning. The course focuses on accurate case preparation without guaranteeing visa approval or permanent residence.

World Visa Academy focuses on practical case assessment so immigration professionals can review graduate profiles, identify potential issues and prepare Temporary Graduate visa applications systematically.

The current subclass 485 framework includes the Post-Vocational Education Work stream for eligible graduates with specified vocational qualifications and the Post-Higher Education Work stream for eligible degree-level graduates. The correct stream depends on the applicant’s qualification and other applicable criteria. The former Replacement stream is closed to new primary applicants.

Depending on the stream and applicant, evidence can include identity documents, Australian qualification and course-completion evidence, English-language evidence, health and character documents and other records required by the application. Professionals should assess the applicant’s individual circumstances and verify the current documentary requirements before submission.

Eligible graduates who held a first Temporary Graduate visa under the relevant Post-Study Work framework, graduated from a CRICOS-registered education provider in a designated regional area and continued to live in a designated regional area may qualify for a second Temporary Graduate visa. Additional eligibility conditions apply.

The course is suitable for immigration consultants, education advisers, visa professionals and caseworkers handling Australian study-to-work cases.
