Post Study Work Visa

Students thinking why study in Australia, can learn about the benefits of working in Australia after the study. Another big benefit of studying in Australia is the long post-study work visa (PSW) available to international students. Australian university graduates don’t need a sponsor or job to apply for this visa and can continue to live and work in Australia for 2-4 years after completing their studies.

This visa known as the Post Study Work Permit or Temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485) gives international students extended post-study work rights, making it one of the longest duration visas available to international students. The visa allows students to bring their immediate family member to Australia.
