To be eligible for the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485), applicants must be under 50 years of age, hold an eligible visa, and have recently graduated with a qualification related to an occupation on the skilled occupation list (for the Graduate Work stream) or with a higher education degree (for the Post-Study Work stream). Applicants must also meet English language proficiency standards and health and character requirements. The application process involves gathering necessary documents, such as proof of qualifications and English language test results, and submitting an online application through the Department of Home Affairs website. It's important to apply within six months of completing the course.

CQUniversity offers support services to assist international graduates in understanding post-study visa options and exploring employment opportunities in Australia. The university's career services provide guidance on job search strategies, resume writing, and interview preparation. Additionally, workshops and seminars on visa regulations and pathways to permanent residency are organized to inform students about their options. While the university provides resources and support, it's crucial for graduates to consult the Department of Home Affairs for official visa information and ensure compliance with all requirements.
