Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) Translation Requirements
The Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa allows international students who have recently graduated from an Australian educational institution to remain in Australia temporarily to gain work experience. Whether you are applying under the Graduate Work stream or the Post-Study Work stream, you may need to provide NAATI-certified translation of documents that are not in English.
Key Documents Requiring Translation
- Degree certificates and completion letters from overseas institutions
- Academic transcripts including subject names, grades, and grading scales
- Skills assessment results for the Graduate Work stream
- Identity documents including passports and birth certificates
- Police clearance certificates from countries where you have lived
Why International Students in Melbourne Need NAATI Translation
Melbourne is home to prestigious universities including the University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT, Deakin, and La Trobe. Thousands of international students graduate each year and apply for the Subclass 485 visa. The Department of Home Affairs requires all non-English documents to be translated by a NAATI-certified translator.
Skills Assessment Translations
If applying under the Graduate Work stream, you need a positive skills assessment. Different assessing authorities have different expectations. Engineers Australia may require detailed subject descriptions, while the Australian Computer Society needs comprehensive employment references. Melbourne Translation understands each body's requirements.
Academic Transcript Translation
Academic transcripts are complex documents containing specialised terminology and grading scales. Our NAATI-certified translators ensure subject names, credit points, grades, and institutional seals are accurately represented in the English translation.
