The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) gives you time to gain Australian work experience. Staying longer usually means an employer-sponsored or skilled visa.
Replaced the Temporary Skill Shortage (482) visa for new applications from December 2024.
Your employer must be an approved standard business sponsor.
Many occupations need a positive assessment from the relevant authority.
Immigration advice in Australia must come from a registered migration agent or lawyer.
An approved sponsor can nominate you for an eligible occupation under the Skills in Demand visa, if you meet the skills, experience and English requirements. Permanent employer-sponsored options (such as subclass 186) may follow after working for a sponsor.
Some graduates qualify for points-tested visas without a sponsor, such as subclass 189, or state nominated subclass 190 and regional 491. Points depend on age, English, experience, Australian study and other factors.
Ask the employer to confirm they are an approved sponsor and that the position is genuine. A genuine sponsor will interview you and cannot legally ask you to pay for sponsorship — payment for visa sponsorship is an offence in Australia.
A job offer or offer letter does not extend your visa by itself. You still need a genuine employer, a real role and a successful application through the official government process.
We check your profile against the route, explain what the official rules require, and help you prepare a complete, accurate application. We also introduce suitable candidates to employers registered in the destination country that are recruiting for genuine roles.
The employer interviews you and decides whether to hire you, and the government decides your visa. Where the destination country requires immigration advice to come from a registered or authorised professional, that advice is given by our partner lawyers.
We review your current visa, qualifications, experience and English.
Suitable routes, official requirements, realistic timelines and costs.
Applications and interviews with registered employers, where the route needs one.
Complete documents, submitted through the official process.
