This visa is for international students who have recently graduated from an Australian educational institution. It lets you stay in Australia temporarily after you have finished your studies. Students are only able to access the Temporary Graduate Visa once as a primary applicant. If you are applying as the main applicant, you and anybody else covered by the application must be in Australia when you apply for this visa and when your visa is decided.

There are two streams for this visa: 

1. Graduate Work Stream
2. Post-Study Work stream

This stream is for international students with an eligible qualification who graduate with skills and qualifications that relate to an occupation on the list of eligible skilled occupations. You must apply to the relevant assessing authority to obtain a suitable skills assessment prior to lodging your application. A visa in this steam is granted for 18 months.

Post-Study Work stream

This stream is for international students who graduate with a higher education degree from an Australian education provider, regardless of their field of study. This stream is only available to students who applied for, and were granted, their first student visa to Australia on or after 5 November 2011. A visa in this stream can be granted for up to four years, depending on the visa applicant’s qualification.
