Australia’s post-study work visa under fire in election pledge

Ahead of the May 3 federal election, the Coalition has pledged a rapid review of the 485 visa, citing “misuse” of post-study work rights as a backdoor to jobs and permanent migration.If elected, the Coalition said it will look to review the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485), arguing that current post-study work settings are being exploited as a pathway to employment and permanent residency.


The announcement came in early April, when Opposition leader Peter Dutton unveiled a suite of policy intentions for the international education sector. Among them: a proposed cap of 240,000 new international student arrivals per year, and a new AUD $5,000 visa fee for applicants targeting Australia’s top universities.
