About This Service

What Is Malaysia to Australia?

Australia consistently ranks among the top study destinations globally for Malaysian students — and for good reason. With 8 Group of Eight (Go8) universities in the world's top 100 (including Melbourne, ANU, UNSW, Sydney, Monash, UQ, Adelaide, and UWA), a welcoming multicultural environment, English-language instruction, and a short flight from Malaysia, Australia offers an exceptional combination of academic quality and accessibility.

The Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) is Australia's post-study work visa — it allows graduates who completed a degree in Australia to live and work for 2–4 years after graduation, depending on qualification level and whether they studied in a regional area. This pathway is one of the most popular routes to Australian permanent residency and is available from the very first year of study.

Edufly has placed over 900 students in Australian universities and has a 98% first-attempt success rate for the Student Visa (Subclass 500). Our Australia migration team includes specialists in GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) requirements, health insurance (OSHC), and the regional study incentive programs that extend post-study work rights.

🏠 Living in Australia

Part-time work on a student visa (48 hrs/fortnight) helps offset living costs. Edufly provides a detailed city-by-city cost comparison.

FAQ

Malaysia to Australia — Frequently Asked Questions

The GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) requirement is an Australian government assessment that evaluates whether your primary intention is to study in Australia and return home after your studies, rather than to use the student visa as a migration pathway. Edufly prepares a strong GTE statement that addresses all key factors — your ties to Malaysia, your study rationale, and your post-study plans — while honestly presenting your profile to the Department of Home Affairs.

The Graduate Visa allows graduates who completed at least two years of study in Australia to live and work (or look for work) in Australia after graduation. Duration: 2 years for bachelor's degree graduates, 3 years for master's graduates, 4 years for PhD graduates. An additional 1-year extension is available for regional study. The visa must be applied for within 6 months of graduation. Edufly advises on 485 eligibility from the start of your study planning.

Yes. Spouses and dependent children of Student Visa (Subclass 500) holders can apply for Student Dependant visas, which allow them to live in Australia for the duration of your study. Spouses can typically work full-time if you are enrolled in a master's or PhD program, or during your doctoral or research degree. Edufly advises on the full family migration option including costs and documentation.

Yes. The Student Visa (Subclass 500) application is fully managed by Edufly's visa team as part of the Australia migration package.
