Therefore once you graduate you may be eligible to apply for a 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 1.5 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.
If you have applied for the Temporary Graduate Visa you may also be eligible to apply for the Job Ready Program. The Job Ready Program is run through TRA and allows graduates in certain disciplines to have their skills assessed for skilled migration purposes. It is a way for people to have their skills assessed without having the experience. 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.

Hey,
I am struggling to understand how foreign students could enrol in a 360 hour work placement. I have been advised that only Australians can do the internships since international students aren’t allowed on that path.
If you need to complete 2 years or study in Australia and do the placement to pass the skill assessment to ingress on a graduate visa 485, how do we get around that with no placement? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers
