Can I find out about immigration?
The International Student Centre http://www.international.adelaide.edu.au/support/isc/ hosts presentations on campus from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), at which a Department representative presents information about immigration, permanent residency and Australian citizenship. These presentations are held at mid year and near the end of the year. For information, contact the International Student Centre.
Students can also visit: http://www.immi.gov.au/ - information from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) about visiting, working, studying or living in Australia.
Can I get graduate work without Permanent Residency?
Large organisations often want candidates to have PR before they can be offered graduate vacancies. However, some organisations do not require it, so it is important to check. Explore opportunities with smaller organisations, or part time and contract work.
New visa arrangements can provide an opportunity to stay on in Australia after graduation to work, and gain points towards PR:
Students can apply for an 18 month temporary visa (graduate temporary subclass 485) for overseas students who have obtained an Australian qualification in Australia as a result of at least two (2) years study. This visa allows applicants who are unable to pass the points test to remain in Australia for 18 months to gain the skills and experience needed to apply for a permanent or provisional General Skilled Migration visa. No points test applies. Visit http://www.immi.gov.au/ for more information.
