How do international students and their families work in Australia?

Every year, many students are not clear about some problems of working in Australia, such as: how to find a job? How to apply for a work permit? What are the restrictions on work? Wait for questions. According to the policy of Australian Immigration Bureau, if you work illegally, you can immediately cancel your visa and repatriate to China. In order to avoid detours, the following Australian Education Alliance () will introduce you to the relevant knowledge of studying in Australia:

International students can apply for a work permit after arriving in Australia. For the main applicants of student visas who have applied for work permits:

Generally speaking, foreign students in Australia can work up to 20 hours a week during their school days. If they are not at school, you can work indefinitely.

The exceptions are:

1, doing the internship work stipulated by the school curriculum, therefore, it is not counted as 20 hours.

If you are a volunteer, you must apply for a work permit even if you are not paid, and this will be counted within 20 hours.

For family members with work permits:

You can only work 20 hours a week at any time unless:

1.573 families of applicants who are studying for a master's degree in teaching can work indefinitely as long as they start classes.

2.574 family members of applicants for master's and doctoral degrees in research.

3. Family members of visa 576 sponsored by AusAID and Australian Ministry of Defence. Please remember: your family should also abide by the state work laws. If your child is under the age of 15 at school, he can't work.
