Subclass 485 Subsequent Entrant Visa
Bring Your Partner or Family to Australia While You Work After Graduation
The Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate Visa allows international students who have recently graduated to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily. If you’re currently holding a 485 visa, your spouse, de facto partner, or dependent children may be eligible to join you in Australia by applying for a Subsequent Entrant (dependent) 485 visa.
At Oz Career Gurus, we help 485 visa holders reunite with their loved ones by providing expert support with the application, documentation, and submission process, making it easier for families to stay together in Australia.
Who Can Apply as a 485 Subsequent Entrant?
Eligible dependents include:
- Your spouse or de facto partner
- Your dependent child (usually under 18, or financially dependent)
The main 485 visa holder must still hold a valid 485 visa, and the dependent applicant must apply from offshore or onshore, depending on their circumstances.
Benefits of a Subsequent Entrant 485 Visa
- Live in Australia with your partner or family
- Spouse can work full-time without restriction
- Children can study in Australia
- Access to public services and healthcare with OVHC (Overseas Visitor Health Cover)
- Valid for the same duration as the primary 485 visa holder’s visa
