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
