Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument tells applicants exactly which paperwork to use when applying for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)—the visa that allows international students to remain in Australia temporarily after completing their studies to gain work experience.

What it does:

Specifies that applications for this visa must be made using either:
- Form 1409 (the standard paper application form), OR
- Form 1276 (Internet) (the online version of the application form)

Who it affects:

International students who have recently graduated from an Australian educational institution and wish to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa to live and work in Australia temporarily.

Why it matters:

Submitting your application on the correct form is a legal requirement. If you use the wrong form, the Department may treat your application as invalid, which could jeopardise your ability to remain lawfully in Australia after your student visa expires.
