Common Questions

What is the 485 visa?

The Temporary Graduate visa lets recent graduates live and work in Australia after completing their studies. It has two streams with different rules.

📘 Post-Study Work Stream

For students who completed a bachelor degree or higher at an Australian institution. Most international graduates use this stream.

Bachelor, Honours, Masters or PhD degree required
Must have studied in Australia for at least 2 academic years
Qualification does not need to be occupation-specific
Duration: 2 to 5 years depending on level and location
No occupation list restriction

🔧 Graduate Work Stream

For students with an occupation on the MLTSSL. Shorter duration but opens skills assessment pathway faster.

Occupation must be on MLTSSL
Qualification must be relevant to that occupation
Minimum 16 months equivalent study in Australia
Duration: 18 months only
Skills assessment required at application

Who qualifies? — all conditions required

✓

Recently graduated from an Australian CRICOS-registered institution

Online-only study completed entirely offshore does not qualify. COVID-period offshore study may qualify under temporary exemptions — check current DHA guidelines at immi.homeaffairs.gov.au for specific dates.
✓

Held a student visa (subclass 500) for the majority of your study

Must have held a student visa for most of your study period in Australia. Tourist visas or working holiday visas during study do not count. Bridging visas between student visas do count.
✓

Apply within 6 months of receiving final results notification

The clock starts from your official final results notification date — not graduation ceremony. Check your student portal. Set a calendar reminder the day results arrive. This deadline is absolute — no extensions available.
✓

English proficiency — 6.0 in each band minimum

IELTS: 6.0 each band | PTE Academic: 50 each communicative skill | TOEFL iBT: L13 R13 W21 S12 | Cambridge B2 First / C1 Advanced / C2 Proficiency: 169 each skill | OET: B in each. Test valid for 3 years. IELTS for UKVI not accepted. 6.0 overall with 5.5 in one band = FAIL.
✓

Health requirements — chest X-ray or full HAP exam

Chest X-ray required for most applicants over 11 years old. Full health examination (HAP) required if staying more than 12 months and from certain countries. Must be done by a DHA panel physician only — GP referrals not accepted.
✓

Character requirements — police clearances

Australian Federal Police (AFP) check. Plus national police check from every country you lived in for 12 or more months during the past 10 years. Criminal history must be declared — it does not automatically disqualify but will trigger character assessment.
!

Have not previously held a 485 visa (granted)

Only one 485 in your lifetime. If your 485 was GRANTED you cannot apply again — even if you didn't use it. If it was REFUSED you may re-apply. If you are unsure, check your VEVO record at border.gov.au/byCitizen before applying.
!

Study duration — 2 academic years for Post-Study, 16 months for Graduate Work

Post-Study: qualifying degree must normally take at least 2 academic years AND you must have studied in Australia for at least 16 months of full-time equivalent. Graduate Work stream: qualification must be at least 1 academic year equivalent in Australia.

Your 485 action plan — year by year

What you do during your 485 determines whether you get PR in 2 years or end up at the same points score you started with. This is the complete plan.

The biggest mistake on a 485 — working in the wrong occupation If you studied accounting but worked in retail for 2 years on your 485, you have zero Australian work experience points in accounting. Your EOI score does not improve. You spent your entire 485 window building nothing toward PR. Work in your nominated occupation from month one.

Year 1 — Foundation (months 1–12)

Month 1–3

Start your skills assessment immediately

Skills assessments take 3–6 months. Start the same month you receive your 485. See the occupational authority table below. Do not wait — this is the gate to submitting an EOI. Without a positive skills assessment, you cannot lodge an Expression of Interest in SkillSelect.

Month 1–6

Get a job in your assessed occupation

Australian work experience only counts toward your EOI if it is in your nominated occupation (or a closely related one at equivalent skill level). A month of hospitality work counts for nothing. One year of accounting work counts for 5 points. Start building that clock immediately.

Month 3–6

Decide: NAATI CCL, PTE upgrade, or Professional Year?

NAATI CCL = 5 pts for $800. PTE upgrade from 65 (7.0 equivalent) to 79+ (8.0 equivalent) = 10 more points. Professional Year (accounting, IT, engineering) = 5 pts but costs $5,000–$8,000 and takes 12 months. NAATI is the best value if your language qualifies.

Month 6–9

Skills assessment arrives → submit EOI immediately

As soon as your assessment arrives with a positive outcome, calculate your total points and submit your Expression of Interest in SkillSelect. Your EOI queue position date starts from submission day. Early submission is a real competitive advantage when multiple people have the same points score.

Month 9–12

Apply for state nomination — 190 or 491

State nomination adds 5–15 points. For most graduates at 60–75 base points, state nomination is the difference between an invitation in 6 months and waiting 3+ years. South Australia at 65 pts and Queensland at 75 are most accessible for current graduates. Tasmania and ACT are strong for specific occupations.

NAATI CCL — the fastest 5 points most people ignore

What is NAATI CCL?

The Community Credentialing for Language (CCL) test proves you can interpret between English and a community language at a basic standard. Pass = 5 bonus points on your EOI. That can be the difference between an invitation this year and waiting 2 more years.

Cost: $800 for test. Preparation course: $300–$600. Total approximately $1,100 for 5 points.

Format: Two dialogues, 300 words each. You interpret from the community language into English and from English back into the community language. Pre-recorded audio, 45 minutes.

Available languages (immigration-relevant)

Urdu — Pakistani applicants · moderate pass rate · high demand
Hindi / Punjabi — Indian applicants · high test frequency
Nepali — Nepali applicants · good pass rates reported
Filipino (Tagalog) — Filipino applicants · well-resourced prep materials
Arabic · Bengali · Sinhalese · Tamil · Gujarati
Mandarin · Cantonese · Vietnamese · Khmer
Indonesian · Japanese · Korean · Thai · Malay
Farsi · Dari · Hazaragi · Pashto · Burmese

⚠ Test dates fill 8–12 weeks in advance. Book as soon as you know your 485 lodgement date.

From 485 to Permanent Residence

No single path works for everyone. Which route is right for you depends on your occupation, points score, English level, and how long your 485 is.

The 4 main PR pathways from 485

189 — Skilled Independent (no sponsor needed)

Skills assessment + occupation on MLTSSL or STSOL + competitive points score. Invited via SkillSelect rounds. No employer or state needed. Most competitive — accountants and IT need 90–95+ points. Nurses and allied health typically need 75–80 points.

No sponsor needed Highly competitive

190 — State Nominated Skilled (+5 points)

State or territory government nominates you. +5 bonus points. Lower competition than 189 because each state has its own allocation. Must commit to living and working in that state for 2 years post-grant. SA (65 pts), QLD (75 pts), and TAS (65 pts) are most accessible for current graduates.

+5 pts State sponsor 2 yr state commitment

491 — Regional Provisional (+15 points, PR after 3 years)

Regional state or family member nominates you. +15 points. Major trade-off: must live and work in regional Australia for 3 years, then apply for 191 permanent visa. For many graduates, +15 points is the fast lane — regional living is the price. SA regional, QLD regional, and TAS are most active.

+15 pts Regional 3 yrs 191 → PR

482 → 186 ENS — Employer sponsored (2 years to PR)

If an employer will sponsor you, you move to a 482 Skills in Demand visa. After 2 years in the nominated occupation with that employer, you can apply for the 186 Employer Nomination Scheme permanent visa. No points test. No skills assessment separately. But you need a willing sponsoring employer — harder for new graduates.

Employer required No points test 2 yr same employer

Points projection by graduate profile

Graduate Profile	Base Pts	+190 nom	+491 nom	Recommended route
Age 25, Masters IT, PTE 79 (8.0+), 1yr Aus work	25+20+15+5 = 65	70	80	491 regional fast track
Age 28, Bach. Nursing, IELTS 7.0, 2yr Aus work	30+10+15+5 = 60	65	75	SA 190 at 65 pts viable
Age 30, Bach. Accounting, IELTS 7.0, no work exp	25+10+15 = 50	55	65	Need 2+ yrs work exp urgently
Age 27, Masters Engineering, PTE 79+, 3yr Aus work + NAATI	25+20+15+10+5 = 75	80	90	Strong 189 or VIC/ACT 190
Age 31, MBA, IELTS 7.0, 2yr Aus work	25+10+15+5 = 55	60	70	Upgrade English or add NAATI
Age 23, Bach. Nursing, IELTS 8.0, regional study + 1yr work	25+20+15+5(reg)+5(work) = 70	75	85	Very competitive — priority occupation
Age 26, PhD Engineering, IELTS 8.0, 2yr Aus work	25+20+20+5 = 70	75	85	189 viable for engineers at current cutoffs

The NAATI advantage for Pakistani, Indian, Nepali and Filipino graduates If your home language is Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Tagalog, or Nepali — NAATI CCL is 5 points your classmates from English-speaking backgrounds structurally cannot access. In competitive EOI pools where 1 point separates thousands of applicants at the same score, this is a permanent structural advantage. Use it.

Processing times by nationality

Based on DHA median processing data — 2025 figures. Onshore applications in same state generally process faster than offshore.

Why Chinese nationals experience longer processing Character verification requirements for PRC nationals involve additional bilateral checks through DFAT. This is standard procedure under Australia's security agreements — not discretionary discrimination. The 6-month application window still applies regardless of processing time. Lodge early so your Bridging Visa A covers the wait.

Bridging Visa A — what happens while you wait

When you lodge a 485 application before your student visa expires, you automatically receive a Bridging Visa A (BVA). This lets you stay in Australia lawfully while DHA processes your application.

BVA work rights: full-time unlimited work (same as graduate 485) from the day your student visa expires
BVA study rights: can study any course
BVA travel: does NOT allow re-entry to Australia. Apply for Bridging Visa B ($175) before any overseas travel
If 485 refused: BVA remains valid for a period to allow you to appeal or make other arrangements
If you apply after your student visa has already expired: you are unlawful and do not receive a BVA — this is a critical situation requiring immediate legal help

Graduate Work Stream — detailed guide

Only 18 months duration but can fast-track your skills assessment pathway. Most relevant for students who did not complete a 2-year qualification.

Post-Study vs Graduate Work — which should you choose? If you qualify for both streams, Post-Study Work is almost always the better choice. It gives you 2–4 years (vs 18 months), does not require skills assessment at application time, and has no occupation restriction. Choose Graduate Work only if you cannot meet the 2-year study requirement for Post-Study stream.

Graduate Work stream requirements

✓

Occupation on MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List)

Must nominate an occupation that appears on the MLTSSL. The MLTSSL contains approximately 200 occupations weighted toward healthcare, engineering, IT, education and trades.
✓

Qualification relevant to nominated MLTSSL occupation

Your degree or diploma must be directly relevant to your nominated occupation. A Bachelor of Business cannot support a nomination as Software Engineer unless it included substantial IT units.
✓

Positive skills assessment from the relevant authority

Must have a CURRENT positive skills assessment from the assessing authority for your occupation. This is lodged WITH the 485 application — you cannot submit and wait for assessment to arrive.
✓

At least 16 months of full-time equivalent study in Australia

The qualification must have been studied in Australia. Minimum duration equivalent to one full academic year. Online offshore study does not count.

Common questions about the 485

Questions from r/AusVisa, Australian immigration forums, and thousands of graduate profiles. Answered with DHA-accurate data.

Can I extend my 485 or apply for another one? +

You cannot extend a 485 visa and cannot apply for a second one. One 485 per lifetime — if it was ever granted, you cannot apply again. If it was refused, you may re-apply. If you need more time after your 485 ends, your options are: 482 employer sponsor, partner visa, student visa (further study), or have your PR application granted before the 485 expires. Check your VEVO record at border.gov.au/byCitizen to confirm your visa history.

I graduated in December — when exactly does my 6-month window start? +

Your 6-month window starts from the official date your final results were released — not the graduation ceremony. Check your student portal or results notification email for the exact date. Graduation ceremonies are typically 3–6 months after results. Counting from the ceremony date is one of the most common reasons for 485 refusal. If your results date is unclear, contact your institution's student records office immediately.

I studied partly online from my home country during COVID. Does that count? +

DHA implemented COVID exemptions allowing students who studied offshore during specific periods in 2020–2022 to count that time toward the 2-year in-Australia study requirement. Whether this applies to you depends on your specific dates and your visa conditions at the time. The exemptions have specific date cutoffs that have changed multiple times. Check the current DHA website for the specific concession dates applicable to your situation, or consult a MARA agent before lodging — this is a common refusal ground when applicants assume the exemption applies to them when it doesn't.

My IELTS shows 6.0 overall but 5.5 in Writing. Do I qualify? +

No. The 485 requires 6.0 in each of the four bands individually — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. An overall 6.0 with a 5.5 in Writing does not meet the requirement. You must re-sit and achieve 6.0 or higher in every single band. This is the most common English-related reason for 485 refusal. PTE Academic is often easier to achieve band-by-band equivalence — a PTE score of 50 in each communicative skill meets the 485 requirement.

Can I include my partner and children? +

Yes. Your partner (spouse or de facto) and dependent children can be included as secondary applicants. Your partner must meet health and character requirements but does not need to meet the English language or study requirements. Your partner will receive the same visa duration and full work and study rights. Children can attend Australian schools. Secondary applicant visa application charges apply — $955 for adults, $475 for children under 18. De facto relationships require evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship of at least 12 months, unless your partner is a New Zealand citizen or you are registered under a state/territory relationship register.

I have a 3-year 485. Can I submit an EOI in Year 1 before I have work experience? +

Yes — and you should. Submit your EOI in SkillSelect as soon as you have a positive skills assessment and meet the minimum 65-point threshold. Your EOI date in the queue is your competitive advantage. If someone else has the same points score as you and submitted 6 months earlier, they get invited first when a round opens with limited places. You can always update your EOI score later when you gain more work experience or achieve NAATI. Getting in the queue early costs nothing and can save months or years.

What happens if my 485 is refused? +

If your 485 is refused, you have the right to apply for merits review at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART — formerly the Migration Review Tribunal) within 21 days of the decision. The current ART success rate for 485 refusals is approximately 28–35%. The most common refusal grounds are: English test result below minimum in any band, application lodged outside 6-month window, student visa not held for majority of study period, failed health requirements, and character issues. If refused on grounds you believe are wrong or can be fixed (e.g., English now met, health issue resolved), consult a registered MARA agent before lodging the ART application — the 21-day deadline is absolute.

Can I do a Professional Year on my 485? +

Yes. The Professional Year Program is a 44-week structured work placement available to recent graduates in accounting, IT, and engineering. Completing it earns 5 bonus points on your EOI. It includes classroom training and a minimum 12-week internship. Cost ranges from $5,000 to $8,000 depending on the provider. Providers include MIDA, Academies Australasia, Navitas Professional, and others. It requires near-full-time participation and is most valuable for graduates whose EOI score is borderline, where 5 extra points would change their invitation prospects significantly. For accounting and IT graduates stuck at 70–80 points, it can be the difference between a 190/189 invitation and waiting indefinitely.

I am on a 485 now. Can I apply for state nomination 190 or 491? +

Yes. The 485 is one of the eligible visa types for the vast majority of state and territory 190 and 491 nomination programs. You can apply for state nomination while on your 485, receive a nomination, update your EOI, receive an invitation from DHA, and then lodge your 190 or 491 permanent/provisional visa application — all before your 485 expires. This is exactly the intended use of the 485 window. The key is to start early: state nomination rounds are unpredictable and can close without notice. Don't wait until Year 2 of your 485.

Does work on a 485 count as Australian work experience for the points test? +

Yes — but only if the work is in your nominated occupation (or a closely related occupation at the same skill level). A software engineer working as a software developer: counts. A software engineer working in data entry: does not count. The work must be paid employment or self-employment in Australia. Points: 1–2 years = 5 pts, 3–4 years = 10 pts, 5–7 years = 15 pts, 8+ years = 20 pts. Note the combined overseas + Australian work experience cap of 20 points total.

I studied at a regional university. Do I get extra points and a longer visa? +

There are two separate regional study benefits and both require your institution to be in a DHA-classified regional area. First: 485 duration bonus of +1 year if you studied your principal qualifying course at a regional institution. Second: 5 bonus EOI points for completing a degree in a regional area of Australia. Both benefits require that your campus location (not just your institution's headquarters) is in a classified regional area, and that you actually studied the qualifying course at that campus — a partial semester at a regional campus does not qualify for either benefit. Check your specific institution and campus postcode at DHA's regional area definition before making assumptions.
