We can help you too. We will start by evaluating your options then guiding you on each step of your onward journey.
Watch our short video below to find out more about the various options available to you now that you have completed your Aussie studies then please get in touch to develop your own personal MAP: Migration Action Plan.
International students graduating with a degree from Australia or who have a specific occupation may obtain this post-graduate visa for up to three years.
The visa provides the opportunity for work and can be a useful tool to move towards a further GSM residence visa.
Australian businesses may sponsor international students for a range of work visas. Options include the Training (407) visa, Temporary Skills Shortage (482) visa, Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (494) visa and Employer Nomination (186) visa.

Our Happy Clients
One mistake almost derailed my Australian dream. Thank you Sarah for guiding me through the appeals process in record time and helping to secure my Temporary Graduate 485 visa. I am so grateful!
Ana Paula
Professional and efficient. Originally an international student in Australia, Aspire Australia has been my partner throughout my migration process. From graduate study visa to 457 and permanent residence, I have found Aspire Australia to be very clear in their processes and communications and the investment was worth the peace of mind.

The earlier you seek advice on the best visa option for your situation and what evidence you will need for sponsorship – the better decisions you can make. Getting advice is the key first step.
We are biased, but yes!
Migration law is complex and subject to Government changes. A migration lawyer provides advice, prepares applications and liaises with the Department of Home Affairs on your behalf.
We believe that rules show us the pathway to what’s possible. Keeping on top of the current rules means that we offer the right advice.
Here at Aspire Australia we go above and beyond to ensure an approval ready visa.
Over 25+ years in the industry we have built a 7-Step Proven Pathway to lead our clients to success.

5. We don’t stop at lodgement. We represent you through the whole process, liaising with the Department of Home Affairs and other bodies on your behalf.
