Exciting update from the office of the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs: the new LIN 24/015 legislative instrument is now in effect, amending the Subclass 476 Visa regulations. Recent engineering graduates who've studied at specified institutions have an opportunity to live, work, or study in Australia for up to 18 months.
The instrument carries over the existing policies from IMMI 14/010, so there's no change to the list of qualifying institutions, all of which are accredited by signatories to the Washington Accord. This ensures continuity and stability for applicants and educational institutions alike.
Engineering remains the specified discipline under the new instrument, maintaining a clear pathway for international engineering graduates to contribute to Australia's innovation and infrastructure development.
The details are officially registered and have commenced the day after their registration on the Federal Register of Legislation. Interested graduates can find all necessary information about the specified institutions on the Washington Accord website.
