The skilled pathways beyond

Where the journey can lead after study and work — planned course by course.

Depending on your occupation and circumstances: points-tested skilled visas (189, 190, 491) or employer-sponsored routes (482 leading to 186). Which of these is realistic depends on the course you choose today. The course explorer shows the answer for every course. Individual advice on these visas comes through the Registered Migration Agent access included in every Studyaway plan.
