Can an international student work in Australia while studying?
New international students have to apply for work permission to be attached to their student visa after commencing their course. Initial processing of these applications is usually done through the international office at the student’s institute. The fee for obtaining permission to work is $60. Once granted work permission, an international student can work for up to 20 hours per week during semester, and full-time during vacations. Vacations are defined as periods when the institute is not in session.
