Great question! Australia offers a range of post-study migration and skilled work pathways for international graduates. Here’s an overview of the main options available after you complete your studies in Australia:

1. Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485)

This is the most popular pathway for international students who want to stay and work in Australia after graduation. It has two streams:

a) Post-Study Work Stream

- For students who have completed a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral degree from an Australian institution.
- Duration:
- Bachelor’s/Master’s: 2–3 years
- Master’s by research: Up to 3 years
- Doctoral: Up to 4 years
- Allows full work rights.
- You can use this time to gain work experience and improve your points for skilled migration.

b) Graduate Work Stream

- For graduates with skills and qualifications related to occupations on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
- Duration: 18 months (may be subject to change)
- Intended for vocational or trade qualification holders.
