Can Malaysian students work in Australia while studying?

Question

I am planning my finances for studying in Australia and want to know if I can work part-time during my studies. Living expenses in Australia can be high, so working legally is important for me. However, I don’t want to violate any visa conditions unknowingly. I need clarity on work limits for Malaysian students.

Yes, Malaysian students on an Australian student visa can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods and unlimited hours during official breaks. Working beyond permitted hours may result in visa cancellation. Rozario Enterprises educates students on work rights, tax file number (TFN) applications and legal employment rules.
