Graduate Visa (Subclass 485)
485 Visa allows you to live, study and work in Australia temporarily.
A Temporary Graduate Visa subclass 485 is a subclass of an Australian General Skilled Visa. As the name suggests, it is a temporary class visa that permits international students to stay, work, and study in Australia once they are done with their studies.
This visa category may seem easier to process but is difficult in reality. Manual processing of the visa can potentially leave you in vain. As a result, you might consider hiring a temporary graduate visa agent in Adelaide. An agent can be the right person to assist you while processing such tiring visa applications. But, let us first study what a Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) has to offer us.

Various Streams of a Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485)
There are three different streams under which you can apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa. Let us start discussing them in a little brief.
1. Graduate Work Stream- This visa lets you study, stay, and work in Australia. This temporary visa stream is for people who have recently completed their graduation with the relevant skills and qualifications that are in much demand in Australia.

- The respective person must be enrolled in an occupation listed on the Australian skills list.
- You can even bring your family on this respective visa stream.
2. Post-Study Work Stream- This visa is for students overseas who have recently graduated from a reputed Australian Institution. It allows you to temporarily work, study, and stay in Australia.

- You need to have a degree in a CRICOS registered course.
Second Post-Study Work Stream- This visa is for people who have a first temporary graduate visa in the post-study stream who have graduated from any Australian Institute or an Australian University located in a regional area. With this visa, you can reside, study, and work in Australia temporarily.
Additional Features-
- Likewise all other visa streams, you can call your parents in Australia with this stream also.
- Your stay on this visa stream for a maximum of two years depending on certain conditions.These are:
a) The regional area where the institution is located from where you graduated lead to your temporary graduate visa(in a post-study stream).
b) The regional area where you stay as a temporary graduate visa on a post-study work stream visa.
Do You need an OSHC to support a Temporary Graduate Visa Application?
At the time of a temporary graduate visa, if you have a valid student visa, you will automatically be covered under a student cover as a compulsory requirement of a student visa. You can attach the evidence of your existing OSHC proof with your visa application. However, at the time of visa processing, you will still have to apply for an OSHC(Overseas Student Health Cover).
At the time of visa processing, the Department of Home Affairs will contact you to cross-verify whether you have purchased the cover or not. For instance- if at the time of 485 visa processing your student visa expires, and you’re granted a bridging visa then your OSHC will also expire. You must ensure that before the expiry of your student visa, you will have to get a new OSHC(Overseas Student Health Cover). Once you are granted a temporary graduate visa subclass 485, you have to have adequate health insurance during your entire stay in Australia.
