Temporary Graduate visa subclass 485 assistance
The Temporary Graduate visa subclass 485 can raise time-sensitive questions after Australian study, but graduate status alone does not identify an available stream or establish an application pathway. Current study history, previous visas and personal circumstances need individual review.

Place the graduate history in context
Start with the completed Australian study, the person’s visa history and the purpose of considering subclass 485. Those facts help frame which current official information and stream questions require attention without assuming that study completion produces eligibility.
Review stream and evidence questions
KITES may assist with organising information relevant to the graduate context, current study history and possible stream, and with identifying records that need closer attention. The exact service scope must be agreed for the individual matter.
Check the current process before acting
Read current Home Affairs information, establish the person’s circumstances and then sequence any document preparation or advice. Historic knowledge about a stream should not be treated as current policy or applied without checking the individual facts.
A graduate visa does not promise a migration pathway
This overview is general information and does not establish eligibility or a later migration option. Home Affairs controls the visa decision, and subclass 485 status cannot predict another visa outcome.
