You may choose to work while you are studying. This can be an option to earn extra spending money and get a taste of the local culture. Here are a few things to remember:

• Work hours: You can work up to 48 hours every two weeks while you are studying, and unlimited hours during holiday breaks.
• Workplace protections: You have the same protections at work as anyone else working in Australia. Whenever in doubt please do not hesitate to reach out to Fair Work Ombudsman
• Minimum wage: You will get at least a minimum rate of pay per hour no matter what job you do.
