New 485 visa and Post-study Work Stream

The Subclass 485 visa is not renamed the Temporary Graduate (Subclass 485) visa, and it has two streams:

Graduate Work Stream

Post-Study Work Stream

Visa validity

The Subclass 485 visa can only be held once, meaning current 485 visa holders cannot access the Post-Study Work stream. All current Subclass 485 visa holders will have work and study rights.
