International Graduates – Live in Australia

There are over 400 000 international students in Australia. Many international graduates complete their studies in Australia and want to continue to work and live in Australia. Australian states and territories aim to attract and retain international talent in specific skill areas, therefor states and territories can provide a pathway to working and living in Australia. These pathways are through state nomination that can assist with the skilled visa application process.

Each state and territory manages its own state nomination immigration process.
