Temporary Graduate (485) base charge doubled to $4,600 from 1 March 2026

Applications for the Temporary Graduate visa lodged on or after 1 March 2026 pay a base charge of $4,600 for the main applicant — double the previous $2,300. Additional-applicant charges also rose. Recent graduates planning a 485 should factor the new figure into timing decisions. Source: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-graduate-485
