485VisaHelp: tools for the Temporary Graduate Subclass 485 visa

485VisaHelp is an Australian migration information platform focused on the Temporary Graduate Subclass 485 visa, also known as the TR 485. The site brings together self-assessment tools, calculators and documentary guides aimed at international students who have completed studies in Australia and need guidance before submitting their application. The company presents itself as an independent resource and clarifies that it is not affiliated with the Australian Government.

The platform is operated by V1 Overseas Careers Pty Ltd (ABN 84 617 152 977) and is supported by registered migration agent Kiran Vadlamudi (MARN 2218002). According to its own presentation, it has more than ten years of experience in services for international students and claims to have assisted more than 5,000 international graduates.

Eligibility and cost tools

The site offers a quick eligibility check that, it says, takes about two minutes and returns an instant result. It also includes an application fee calculator effective from 1 July 2026, which breaks down the cost according to the visa stream, the location of the main applicant (inside or outside Australia) and whether there are dependants. The calculator shows a main fee of $5,750 and other estimated costs: medical examination ($371.70), AFP police check ($56) and OVHC insurance from $78 per month. The site itself warns that biometrics, professional fees and document translation may be added depending on the passport country.

The three streams of the 485 visa

The platform compares the main Subclass 485 streams and their requirements:

• Post-Vocational Education Work: usual duration of 18 months, for graduates whose qualification and skills relate to an eligible skilled occupation on the MLTSSL. It may require a skills assessment and is aimed at trade qualifications, diplomas and certain degrees.
• Post-Higher Education Work: usual duration of 2 to 4 years, the most common stream among recent Australian higher education graduates. It usually does not require a skills assessment or meeting an occupation list; it is intended for bachelor's, master's and doctoral graduates.
• Second Post-Higher Education Work: between 1 and 2 additional years for eligible 485 holders who have studied, lived or worked in a designated regional area. It requires having previously held a first Temporary Graduate (Subclass 485) visa and having lived in a designated regional area during it.

Documentation and OVHC health insurance

The site provides a list of required documents that includes a valid passport, eligible visa, course completion letter, English test, AFP check and OVHC insurance, with the possibility of generating a personalised checklist based on the applicant's qualification and circumstances.

Regarding insurance, the platform reminds users that OVHC is a mandatory requirement for the 485 application unless exempt, and that without valid cover the application may be delayed or refused. It notes that cover may include hospital treatment, doctor and specialist visits, prescription medicines, ambulance services and emergency care, and warns that each provider offers different levels of cover, waiting periods and optional extras. The comparison shows four featured providers with premiums from $59.35, $64.57, $72.50 and $108.85 per month, and promotions of up to 6 or 8 weeks free depending on the case.

Network of registered migration agents

The platform connects users with registered migration agents who speak their language and work near their location. Among the profiles shown are Kiran Vadlamudi (MARA 2218002), based in Hoppers Crossing, Victoria, five years of experience and languages Telugu, Tamil and English; and Gurkiranjit Singh Bal (MARA 2217951), based in Cranbourne West, Victoria, six years of experience and languages Punjabi, Hindi and English. Both allow booking a consultation.
