Part-time work
As an International Student, studying in Australia, your work rights are automatic. If you were issued with a student visa on or after 26 April 2008, you will have permission to work included in your visa. You do not need work rights if the work is an officially recognised part of your study. All new visas issued after 26 April 2008, include a permission to work. If you need to re-new your visa you will be issued with a visa which will include permission to work.
For more information on the new permission to work arrangements for student visa holders, please refer to the Fact Sheet on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website.
