The Australian government announced changes to the Temporary Graduate Visa Program, and they will take effect on July 1.
The modifications are intended to improve clarity for overseas graduates and expedite the visa application process.
Australian Government Announces Changes To Temporary Graduate Visa Program
Candidates need to select a visa stream based on which their qualifications fit. The applicant’s age restriction will be 35 years old. Depending on the kind of degree, stay durations have been changed for the Post-Higher Education Work stream.
International students can remain in Australia after they graduate with a Temporary Graduate Visa. Students who have successfully completed a course listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) are eligible for this visa.
In Australia, those with visas can look into further options or pick up job experience. Family members, including spouses and kids, may be listed on a visa application. Visa laws provide that family members must meet certain health and character requirements.
Graduates are permitted to work unlimited hours in any industry with this visa. The freedom to work as many hours as you like offers excellent prospects for work experience. While living in Australia, graduates with this type of visa can also investigate alternative professional paths.
Australian Study Requirement
The Post-Vocational Education Work stream and the Post-Higher Education Work stream will replace the Post-Study Work and Graduate Work streams. The stream for which an applicant may apply depends on the qualification used to satisfy the Australian study requirement.
The applicant’s other qualifications will not be taken into account for assessing eligibility. The changes aim to provide more targeted and relevant pathways for international graduates. The revised visa programme is expected to make it easier for graduates to navigate the application process.
The updated programme aims to support Australia’s need for skilled workers. The changes reflect Australia’s ongoing efforts to attract and retain international talent. The modifications are intended to give foreign graduates more meaningful and focused career paths.
It is anticipated that graduates will find it simpler to apply with the updated visa policy. The program’s upgrade is to help Australia meet its demand for skilled labor. The modifications are a reflection of Australia’s continuous efforts to draw in and keep foreign talent.
