International students who have recently graduated with a degree from an Australian Institution can apply for a ‘Temporary Graduate Visa’ to stay and work in Australia. There are two different streams:

‘Post-Study Work Stream’ is for international students who have recently graduated with a degree in a CRICOS-registered course from an Australian institution.
