Frequently asked questions
Does studying in Australia guarantee PR?+
Studying in Australia can support some migration pathways, but it does not guarantee permanent residency. Eligibility depends on the visa requirements, your occupation, qualifications and circumstances. We can help you assess how study fits with your longer-term plans.
Home Affairs: Student visa ↗Can you advise on a course change?+
Yes. We can review your proposed course change, explain any implications for your visa and help you plan the next step. Speaking with us before making the change gives us the opportunity to consider your circumstances together.
Home Affairs: Student visa ↗What is the difference between the 500 and 485 visas?+
The Student visa 500 supports eligible study, while the Temporary Graduate visa 485 is a separate post-study option with its own requirements. We can review your course, qualifications and circumstances to help you understand whether a graduate pathway may be available.
Home Affairs: Temporary Graduate visa ↗When should I plan for a graduate visa?+
Start planning before your course finishes. Graduate visa options have specific study, eligibility and application timing requirements. We can check your expected completion date and visa history, and help you prepare in time.
Home Affairs: Temporary Graduate visa ↗Can you help me plan what comes after graduation?+
Yes. We can review your qualifications, work experience, visa history and goals to help you explore graduate and other visa options. Each pathway has its own requirements, and we can explain what may be relevant to your circumstances.
