Additional two years of post-study work rights for international graduates with select degrees.
From 1 July 2023, post-study work rights for international graduates will be increased from:
- two years to four years for select Bachelor's degrees
- three years to five years for select Masters's degrees
- four years to six years for all doctoral degrees.

It is intended that future changes to the qualifications list will not adversely impact students who have started an eligible course of study which has subsequently been removed from this list. Students who graduate with a qualification that was eligible either when they started studying or when they finished studying, or both, will be eligible for the extension.

Lodgement for visa applications will commence on 1 July 2023, subject to appropriate regulations being put in place.
