Indicative list of eligible qualifications, listed by occupational category
The qualifications listed in this table are a summary of the eligible qualifications. A comprehensive list mapped to CRICOS course codes will be released by the Department of Education before implementation on 1 July 2023. Students will need to refer to the comprehensive list, when published, to confirm the eligibility of their particular course at their provider.
The qualifications were generated by mapping to the occupations in skills shortage (the above list). The mapping process included both automated and manual steps.
These qualifications are eligible for extended post-study work rights.
In addition to the qualifications listed below, all doctoral graduates (AQF level 10) are eligible for an additional period of stay.
Courses differ between education providers, including as to duration, and this may affect eligibility of individual courses at individual providers.
