These are the following new changes to a student visa in Australia in 2024
Work restrictions for student visas will be reintroduced and capped at 48 hours per fortnight; instead of the previous rule, which allowed to work up to 40 hours per week.
Post-study work rights: International graduates who have completed a degree in Australia in the field of health, teaching, engineering or agriculture may now access extended subclass 485 visas.
For some occupations, a nomination from an eligible Australian employer will now be required in order to apply for a student visa. This change is intended to ensure that student visas are only granted to students who are likely to find employment in Australia after completing their studies.
Increased visa application charges: The visa application charges for student visas will be increased by between 6% and 40% from 1 July 2024.
