Subclass 485: unrestricted work while the visa is valid.
The Temporary Graduate visa carries unrestricted work rights for as long as the visa is valid. No fortnightly cap, no limit on employer, industry or hours. Your grant letter and VEVO list any conditions specific to your visa.
If an employer is unsure what a 485 allows, VEVO is the official check they can run with your permission, and it answers in minutes.

Fewer than 5% of live ads state a work-rights requirement at all. Silence in an ad is not a yes and not a no. It means the employer has not said.
A 485 meets a full-work-rights requirement while the visa is valid. Ads that state citizens only are the ones to skip.
