Students studying in Australia need a student visa first if they want to work? While holding a student visa, you need to apply for a work permit from the embassy. It should be pointed out that only those who have reached the age of 18 are eligible to engage in part-time activities.

Regarding the specific content and time limit of part-time, there are the following points to pay attention to:

Part-time working hours: International students can work up to 20 hours a week during normal school days (including the examination period). If you are not at school, there is no time limit.

Types of part-time jobs: Common part-time jobs include, but are not limited to, restaurant waiter, vegetable delivery man, cashier, farm picking, etc. In addition, you can also participate in internships and volunteer work as stipulated in the school curriculum, but both of them are included in working hours.

Part-time place: In addition to the catering industry and work farm mentioned above, community hospital is also a common part-time place, which needs to handle patient files and may involve data transmission.

Internship: For graduate students or doctoral students, if their family members hold a specific student visa category, they can apply for no more than a visa.

The employment policy for international students in Australia allows international students to work inside and outside the school within the specified time. The advantage of this policy is that international students can reduce their financial burden by working, and at the same time, they can exercise their own abilities and skills and improve their language level and social adaptability. In addition, part-time jobs can help foreign students better understand the local culture and market demand, and lay the foundation for future career development.

However, this policy also has some shortcomings. First of all, foreign students working may affect their studies and lead to a decline in their academic performance. Secondly, international students may face safety problems when working, such as the safety of working environment and traffic problems. In addition, if international students rely too much on part-time income, it may lead to economic instability.

Generally speaking, the employment policy for Australian students has advantages and disadvantages. For international students who want to work, it is necessary to plan their time reasonably to ensure that their studies will not be affected, and at the same time, they should pay attention to safety issues. If we can reasonably grasp the degree, work can be a beneficial experience.
