NovOne of the primary reasons students choose Australia is the opportunity to gain professional work experience after graduation. The Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) is the bridge that allows you to transition from a student visa to a working professional in Australia.
Post-Higher Education Work Stream This stream is for students who graduate with a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree. Depending on your qualification, this visa allows you to stay and work in Australia for 2 to 3 years after your studies. This time is invaluable for:
Earning the necessary salary and experience to qualify for employer-sponsored visas or skilled migration.
Gaining exposure to the Australian work culture.
Completing a “Professional Year” (PY) program in IT, Accounting, or Engineering.
Most Pakistani students choose Australia because it offers a clear pathway to gain professional experience after graduation.
Post-Vocational Education Work Stream For students completing diploma-level trade qualifications (like chefs, automotive mechanics, or carpenters), this stream allows for an 18-month stay. However, unlike the degree stream, this requires a skills assessment before you can apply.
Why Planning Ahead Matters You cannot apply for this visa if you haven’t completed the specific study requirements (2 academic years in Australia). At OZEE Pathfinder, we counsel you before you even leave Pakistan to ensure the course you pick makes you eligible for this crucial post-study work visa.
