Students and the skilled migration program

Australia has a well-deserved reputation for high-quality education and training. We continue to welcome overseas students, and appreciate the contribution they make to both academic life and the communities in which they live. People who wish to study in Australia may be granted a student visa that entitles them to come to Australia on a temporary basis for a specified period to undertake study at an Australian educational institution. While many overseas students make a decision to apply for a permanent visa upon completing their studies, this is an entirely separate process and there is no guarantee that, on the basis of having held a student visa, a person will meet the requirements to be granted a permanent visa at the end of their studies.
Before completing this form

Please read carefully the information below, and the information on the Temporary Graduate visa available on the departments website www.immi.gov.au/visas/students/485

Making a valid application and supporting documents

To make a valid application you must provide certain supporting documents with your application. The documents required are different for each type of application. If you do not provide the required documents your application may not be valid and may be returned to you. You will find the checklist of the documents you must provide in support of your application on the departments website www.immi.gov.au/visas/students/_pdf/485-documentchecklist.pdf You must complete the appropriate checklist from this website if you are sending your application by mail or courier. If you are applying online, the electronic form has an in-built checklist. In either case, enclose/attach copies of all documents listed on the relevant checklist with your application. You may be asked to provide other documents during processing. Certified copies of documents means authorised or stamped true copies of originals by a person or agency recognised by law of your country. In Australia, they must be certified by a Justice of the Peace or Commissioner for Declarations or by a person before whom a statutory declaration may be made. The department also accepts documents certified by a registered migration agent. Documents in languages other than English should be accompanied by an English translation. If the applicant is onshore, the translation should be undertaken by a translator accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). Failure to do so may significantly affect the processing of your application. Translations provided by non-accredited translators overseas should be endorsed by the translator with their full name, address, telephone number, and details of their qualifications and experience in the language being translated. Note: You must include both a certified copy of the original language document and a certified copy of the translated document with your application. Do not supply any original documents with your application, unless you have been asked to do so.
Health insurance requirements

You are required to hold adequate private medical and hospital health insurance cover for the entire time you are in Australia on a Temporary Graduate visa. To meet this requirement you should attach to this application evidence of adequate health insurance, which states the level of health care provided by the insurance policy. A copy of the suggested certification letter and further information on the minimum level of coverage is available from www.immi.gov.au/visas/students/485 The above does not apply if you have enrolled with Medicare (Australias national health cover). Information on entitlements to Medicare is available from www.medicareaustralia.gov.au
Who is covered by this form?

The application form covers the main applicant and, if applicable, secondary applicants. Applicants seeking to meet the criteria as a subsequent applicant can also use this form. For information about who can be included in your application as a secondary or subsequent applicant, see the departments website www.immi.gov.au/visas/students/485
Dependent children
A dependent child may be your or your partners child or stepchild. Step-child means a child of your current partner or a child of your former partner when the child is under 18 years of age and you have a legal responsibility to care for that child (for example, when your former partner is deceased and you have legal custody of your former partners child). You will need to provide a certified copy of the overseas or Australian court order in relation to the custody of the child. A child aged 18 years or over is not considered dependent if he or she is married or in a de facto relationship or is engaged to be married. A child aged 18 years or over will not be considered dependent unless you can show that they are wholly or substantially reliant on you for financial support for their basic needs of food, shelter and clothing. You must also show that you have provided that support for a significant period and that the child is more reliant on you than on any other person or source. Unless you can provide evidence of this, they should apply separately. You should also be aware that a child aged 25 years or over will generally not be considered dependent. Children of any age who have a total or partial loss of bodily or mental functions, which stops them earning a living, are regarded as dependent and part of the family unit (whether or not they accompany you). Give details of such children and whether or not they are in your care. In all cases you should attach evidence of your childs dependency on you.
Character requirements Australian Federal Police clearance

You must provide evidence of having applied for an Australian Federal Police (AFP) National Police Check in the 12 months before you apply for the Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa. This also applies to all family members listed in your application who are aged 16 years or older. The AFP National Police Check is the only acceptable police certificate. This certificate will have the words Complete Disclosure in the heading. Under the sub-heading Purpose for check, you must select Immigration/Citizenship (Code 33). Fingerprints are not required. The AFP National Police Check Application Form is available from the AFP website www.afp.gov.au/what-we-do/policechecks/national-police-checks.aspx
Custody requirements
The department will seek to ensure that allowing a child to reside temporarily in Australia is not in contravention of Australias international obligations in relation to the prevention of child abduction. If your application includes a child under 18 years of age and the childs other parent is not accompanying you or there is any other person who has the legal right to determine where the child can live, you will need to provide a Statutory Declaration from each of them giving permission for the child to accompany you in Australia. Alternatively, you can provide a certified copy of a valid court order showing that you, or your partner, has the legal right to remove the child from the country.
Health requirements
All applicants must meet Australias health requirements. You and any family members included in this application may be required to undergo a chest x-ray and medical examination. Refer to form 1163i Health requirement for temporary entry to Australia for further details.
Other dependants
You may include other relatives in your application if they are wholly or substantially reliant on you for financial support for their basic needs of food, shelter and clothing and they have been reliant on you for that support for a substantial period. They must also be more reliant on you for support than on any other person or source. A relative may also be considered dependent on you if they are reliant on you for financial support because they have a mental or physical disability which stops them from earning a living to support themselves. Other relatives dependent on you or your partner may include, for example, an aged, unmarried relative. A form 47A Details of child or other dependent family member aged 18 years or over must be completed for each dependant aged 18 years or over, whether migrating or not. The dependant may need to provide supporting documents. Form 47A is available from the departments website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/
