Temporary Graduate Visa
If undertaking study in Australia for a minimum of 2 years you may qualify for the Temporary Skilled Graduate Visa. This visa allows the holder 2 years unlimited work rights in Australia.
Many graduates use this time to build up experience in their field or find an employer that is willing to sponsor their visa.
Even though graduates may qualify for a full skills assessment after graduation of the bachelor degree, graduates may also choose to first obtain the temporary graduate visa. This will give them sufficient time to process any future general skilled migration application. Once the student receives a positive skills assessment they may be eligible to apply for permanent work visas such as State Sponsored and General Skilled Migration Visas.
