After their studies, they can stay on and work in regional Australia. In addition to this, the government has made relaxations in the application and grant criteria for international students who cannot travel to Australia due to travel restrictions.
These students can now apply fortheir 485 visa, from offshore locations regardless of the stream they belong to.
