Work and Study in Australia

International students in Australia may get the benefit while they study in Australia. That is, they are allowed to work in Australia for 20 hours/week, but during holiday they may work as much as they want (unlimited hours). Sounds great right?! Work while you are studying. You can earn money before you graduate.

There is a good news now!. Starting from 26th April 2008, people applying for student visa will receive permission to work with their visa grant. But remember, you may work until your course session begin. The government will charge only $450 for these combined visa. Previously, student must paid a total of $490.

Wages from part time work is varied, depends on the location (in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, or any parts in Australia) as well as the type of work that you got, e.g. waiter, night filler, cashier, etc. Normally the wages start from $7-$25 per hour. It is very good because it could help to pay our own accommodation and food (helping our parents to save money).

As long as you try hard to find the job, we believe that you will be able to get the job as Australia has many opportunities in offering a job.

Gut Luck!
