Change from Student Visa to Permanent Visa in Australia.
After successfully completing a course of study at an Australian Education Institution, it is often possible to apply for a temporary Visa to stay in Australia and gain some working experience to enable you to apply for a Permanent Skilled Visa at a later stage.
You need to have studied the right course to eventually get working experience in a line of work that is in demand at the time you finish the courses.
