Attention all Engineering Graduates who have completed studies outside of Australia

January 9, 2015 by Rosie Acutt


Attention all Engineering Graduates who have completed their studies outside of Australia – this may be your last opportunity to gain work experience in Australia upon the completion of your studies!

According to a DIBP internal paper obtained by The Australian Financial Review, DIBP is expected to drop the Skilled Recognised Graduate visa (Subclass 476) as early as next year.

This visa was introduced to ease engineering shortages in Australia and allows recent engineering graduates from recognised universities to work in Australia for up to 18 months in order to gain work experience. Applicants must be under the age of 31, have evidence of competent English language ability and have graduated within two years from the date of application from  a recognised foreign institutions.

If you have completed an eligible engineering qualification (Bachelors, Masters or Doctoral degree or Postgraduate Diploma) from a recognised institution in the past two years, you may be eligible for this visa. The number of applicants utilising this pathway remains small with only 1100 visas granted in 2013-14. If you think you might be eligible, contact us for advice today.
