The Department of Home Affairs says Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa holders will have their visas extended.

“On 18 February 2022, certain eligible Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa holders will have their visas extended to 30 September 2022,” the Department of Home Affairs has said, adding that visa holders eligible for an extension will be notified directly by the Department.

The extension is a temporary measure that would allow Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa-holders affected by COVID-19 travel restrictions to enter, or remain in,​ Australia to live and work until they can apply for and be granted a replacement Temporary Graduate visa.

A temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485) is a temporary visa that allows international students to live, study and work after they have finished their studies.

“The Government recognises the valuable contribution of temporary visa holders and acknowledges the disruption caused by COVID-19,” DoHA Said in a statement.

Eligibility

To be eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa extension:

  • visa holders must have held a Temporary Graduate visa on 15 December 2021
  • the current visa expires before 30 September 2022
  • the primary visa holder was in Australia at the time of the visa grant
  • the primary visa holder has been outside Australia for any period between 1 February 2020 and 14 December 2021 (inclusive)
  • the visa has not been cancelled since 15 December 2021
  • the holder has not been granted a further substantive visa since 15 December 2021.
