Pathways
Programs
Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) - Points-tested stream
A permanent skilled visa for invited workers who do not need an employer or state sponsor. Applicants must nominate an eligible occupation, hold a suitable skills assessment, satisfy the points test, and be invited to apply.
Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) - Core Skills stream
An employer-sponsored temporary skilled visa for nominated workers in the Core Skills stream, where the employer is addressing a labour shortage and the nominated role meets the stream rules.
Student visa (subclass 500)
Australia's principal student visa for international students enrolled in an eligible Australian course. The public Home Affairs page is dynamic, so detailed requirements are kept conservative until each requirement page is captured.
Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)
A temporary visa allowing eligible international graduates to live, study and work in Australia after completing qualifying Australian study. The official page describes separate post-vocational and post-higher-education streams.
