Big news! Current and former 485 visa holders will be allowed to come back to Australia from 18 February 2022.
The Greens warmly welcome this decision. Congratulations to the thousands of people who forced the Government into this backdown.
Australia is facing staff shortage problem & students are given extra hours to work. Which is fair enoug! One thing which I can't understand @AlexHawkeMP why 485visa holders not allowed to enter into country by issuing replacement visa earlier than July to overcome staff problem
@SBSNews Every industry is crippled by staff shortages yet highly skilled graduate 485visa holders have been told to wait another year. We have been waiting for 2 years already. Don’t understand why we are being treated like this @AlexHawkeMP@abcnews @KKeneally @JulianHillMP#auspoI
There is a staff shortage yet 485visa holders have been told to wait another 7 months before they can apply for new replacement visas. 485visa holders are highly skilled people with full working rights who can help reduce this staff shortage @abcnews@AlexHawkeMP@tomwconnell
Few things I got in return after investing thousands of Dollars in Australian Education. Depression, Anxiety & sleepless nights.@AlexHawkeMP please bring forward application date for replacement 485visa & put an end to this misery.#auspol#auspoll#Australia#depression#Help

2 years of our lives have been completely wasted and now we have been told to wait another 7 months just to apply for new visas and God knows how long it would take for these visas to be processed @abcnews@AlexHawkeMP@NickMcKim@tomwconnell @KKeneally #auspol2021@JulianHillMP
Our lives have been ruined and completely destroyed. Now when everyone can enter, 485 visa holders have been told to wait another 7 months and don’t know how much more longer it would take for our visas to be processed @AlexHawkeMP @KKeneally @JulianHillMP@abcnews@tomwconnell
it’s not just about us, It’s about Australia’s reputation as well. Our friends and cousins who wanted to study in Australia have changed their mind after watching how much we have suffered. So unfair @abcnews@tomwconnell @KKeneally @NickMcKim@AlexHawkeMP#Auspol
Graduate 485visa holders have contributed &will continue to contribute in every aspect of Australians lives.we request @ausgov to bring forward the application date for replacement 485visa. Is it to much to ask for? @AlexHawkeMP@ScottMorrisonMP#auspol#AusPol2022#Australians
2 years of our career making time has been lost due to COVID&travel ban. Hon’ble minister @AlexHawkeMP, pls don’t let another year get wasted.Please bring forward application date for replacement 485visa. Help us to help Australia.#auspol#Australia#AusPol2022#help#depressed
@karenandrewsmp@theheraldsun 2020: Completely ruined
2021: Completely ruined
2022: About to be ruined
3 years of our lives completely destroyed. Why can’t we apply for replacement visas now? Why do we have to wait another 7 months and still no clarity on visa processing time
And it’s not just about us, It’s about Australia’s reputation as well. Our friends and cousins who wanted to study in Australia have changed their mind after watching how much we have suffered. So unfair @abcnews@tomwconnell @KKeneally @NickMcKim@AlexHawkeMP#Auspol
