Two-year extension of post-study work rights
Post-study work rights extension up to two extra years for international students in Australia
From 1 July 2023, international higher education graduates in Australia with eligible qualifications will be granted an extra two years of post-study work rights.
While Australia has always offered great post-study work benefits to international students, the authorities have announced yet another update of extending the work rights to up to 8 years for select programs. This is a great opportunity for all international students who are planning to study in this welcoming country and those who are already pursuing their studies in Australia.
