Our ANUSA lawyers have put together a quick video to walk you through the eligibility requirements and documents you’ll need for the Subclass 485 (Post-Higher Education Work stream) visa. We’ll show you how to navigate the Department of Home Affairs website, set up your ImmiAccount, and find the exact documents you need to apply.
Just a quick heads-up: This video was recorded before the fee changes on 1 March 2026. The application price for the visa has since increased to $4,600.
