Working in Australia After Graduation
If you want to stay in Australia to work after graduating, you’ll need to apply for an Australian work visa. You can normally hold only one visa at a time, unless you have a bridging visa, so your new visa will come into effect as soon as it’s granted, replacing any older visas.
The most likely visa you’ll be applying for as an international graduate in Australia is the Temporary Graduate visa.This lets those who’ve recently graduated from an Australian higher education institution stay in the country temporarily for work, travel or study.
This visa has two streams:---->
• Graduate work stream – For international students who graduate with an eligible qualification that relates to an occupation considered in-demand in the Australian labor market, according to the Skilled Occupation List (SOL). A visa in this stream is granted for 18 months.
• Post-study work stream – This is for graduates of all other disciplines. The length of this visa depends on your qualification. If you have a bachelor’s degree or master’s (extended) degree, your visa is valid for two years. If you have a master’s by research, the visa length is three years, while visas for PhD graduates are valid for four years.
If you have a ‘No Further Stay’ condition attached to your visa, you can still apply for this visa using Form 1409, which includes an application for the condition to be waived.
The requirements for the Temporary Graduate visa are:--->
• Graduation Certificate from University. • You must currently hold an eligible visa. • You meet the health and character requirements. • Valid health insurance. • Valid passport. • You must meet the specific requirements of the visa stream you’re applying to. • Evidence that you meet the English requirement – if you’re from a non-English speaking country you’ll need to have reached a certain score in an English language test such as IELTS. You must have taken the test within the three years before you apply, and include the results in your visa application.
• You meet the Australian study requirement in the last six months.
