Australia is now officially granting two years post-graduate work extension to international students who graduate with an eligible degree;
As of July 1, 2023, international graduates of healthcare, teaching, engineering, and several other degrees will be able to stay and work in Australia for up to six years after completing their studies.
All doctoral graduates, no matter their field of study, qualify for the extra two years of post-study work rights enabling them to stay in the country for up to six years after graduation.
If that wasn’t enough, the working hours cap for students is also being raised from 40 hours biweekly to a more flexible cap of 48 hours.
These improved working rights for both students and qualified graduates have the potential to be life-changing!
