The Australian government has announced significant revisions to its migration strategy, notably adjusting the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485). A key alteration is the reduction of the age limit for applicants from 50 to 35 years or under, which will have implications for many international students and educational institutions.
Setting an age limit of 35 or under for graduate visas in Australia is likely to substantially affect international postgraduate students and the research capabilities of universities.
The government is planning to introduce the changes from the first of July 2024, as you can read here.
This article will discuss all the implications of age reduction, particularly for the postgraduate research sector, which includes international students studying for a Master’s degree by research or a Doctoral degree in Australia.
FOI Results Show Numerous PhD and Master by Research Students Will Be Impacted
Work Visa Lawyers obtained information from a Freedom of Information (FOI) request released on February 24, 2024, which provided insights on the number of international students who may be affected.
The introduction of a 35-year age limit presents a significant challenge, particularly for PhD candidates, who may surpass this age during their studies. Therefore, being under 31 before starting a PhD becomes crucial.
As of January 31, 2024, Australia hosted 17,574 postgraduate research visa holders, including PhD and Masters by research students. Among them, 45.87% were under 30, 31.93% were aged 30 to 34, and 22.20% were over 35. This suggests up to 50% of current postgraduate research students might be ineligible for a graduate visa upon completing their studies if the age limit is lowered from 50 to 35 or under for all students since many students from 30 to 35 years old will finish their studies over 35 years old.

They have already reduced the duration of 485 visa. Then why reducing the age limit to 35??? They can simply exclude PhD students from this requirement or Australia doesn’t want researchers in their country!

At least they need to give transition period for the students those who are impacted to this age limit restriction. Otherwise it’s really bad & unfair. Because when they come from their home country rule was 50 age. Thats why they came here, otherwise if they already know, then can get the decision, before come to Australia.

Sir, i wanted to ask you a doubt.
As per the latest EOI update, around 4000+ applicants are there only from an electrical engineering occupation.
In that 2096 applicants with 70 points for subclass 190.
In the current financial year, as everyone knows that there are no significant number of invitations received.
Also, there are a ton of applicants who have points above 80...
My question is, what is the point of applicants below 80 points ?, are the investment of these applicants not recognized, or are the australian government considering them as only a backup plan ?
Kindly reply!!
