Government increases post study work rights duration for international students

 

The Australian Government will increase the duration of post study work rights of international students to strengthen the pipeline of skilled labour.

Post study work rights for select degrees in areas of verified skill shortages will be increased from:

  • Two years to four years for select Bachelorโ€™s degrees
  • Three years to five years for select Masters degrees
  • Four years to six years for select PhDs.

 

This will mean they can stay on longer and use the skills theyโ€™ve gained in Australia to help fill some of the chronic skills shortages we have right now.

A working group will be established to advise the Ministers for Home Affairs and Education on the development of this and other relevant issues.

Members of the working group will include representatives from the Council of International Education, the National Tertiary Education Union, Universities Australia, and the Departments of Home Affairs and Education.

The group will report to Ministers by 28 October 2022 and we will keep you informed as decisions are made.
