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: Check out Fairwork Australia for clarification around work hours and other information specifically for international students
  • 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
For more information please check out Study Australia website
