Application timing may be outside the lodgement window
The Temporary Graduate visa must be lodged within a defined window after completing studies. Missing this window means becoming ineligible for this pathway.
Health examination not completed
All 485 applicants must meet health requirements (PIC 4005). Health examinations are conducted by approved panel physicians and results are submitted directly to Home Affairs. Results can take several weeks — arrange early.
English language evidence may be insufficient or expired
The 485 visa requires evidence of functional English. IELTS/PTE/TOEFL scores expire after 3 years. Native English speakers or Australian degree holders may be exempt but should confirm their exemption basis with evidence.
Police check may be missing or expired
Applicants who have spent 12 or more months in certain countries must provide a police clearance certificate. Missing or expired police checks are a common cause of processing delays and requests for further information.
