In an effort to support students moving into regional areas of Australia, the Australian government recently announced new changes which will benefit current and future students studying in regional Australia. If you complete at least 1 degree, diploma or trade qualification that satisfies the Australian study requirement obtained while living and studying in an eligible area of regional Australia, not only will you be able to claim 5 additional points for a skilled visa, you may also be able to apply for a second temporary graduate visa (SC 485 visa).
