I am concerned about managing my living expenses while studying in Australia. I want to work part-time, but I am unsure about legal work limits and restrictions. I have heard stories of students unintentionally breaching visa conditions. I need clarity to avoid problems with my visa.
Yes, international students in Australia can work part-time while studying on aStudent Visa (Subclass 500). Currently, most student visa holders can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks. Research Master's and PhD students may have different work rights.
At Rozario Enterprises, we always advise students to carefully follow their visa conditions and keep accurate records of their working hours. Exceeding the permitted work limit can lead to visa compliance issues and may affect your future immigration opportunities.
Our migration experts can guide you through student visa requirements, work rights and compliance obligations so you can focus on your studies while managing your living expenses legally and confidently.
