International students studying in Australia on a student visa are able to work part-time and do not need to apply for a work visa. From 26 March 2012, all new and existing student visa holders are permitted to work up to 40 hours per fortnight during any fortnight while their program is in session.
Higher Degree by Research students will not be limited in the number of hours that they can work once their program has commenced.
Students often obtain employment in service and hospitality industries. Our Training, Employment and Career Coaching teams on campus will be able to provide you with information on casual and part-time employment opportunities available. The opportunity to work part-time allows you to earn some spending money and meet more people, however you should not rely on these earnings to pay tuition fees or other living expenses.
