Visa for Study While Working in Australia

To be able to study in Australia, international students need a student visa subclass 573 (Higher Education Sector visa subclass 573). This visa is for those who sign up for a college degree Bachelor's, Associate's or Master's learning path.

Visa issued after 26 April 2008
International students are allowed to work, but must comply with the limits specified, which is only allowed to work a maximum of 40 hours per two weeks during the lecture, and can only work after lecture begins. This requirement also applies to dependents of international students (eg family).

Can I work during the holidays?
Yes, during the holidays, international students can work without any limits.

What is a quota '40 hours per 2 week '?
Here is a breakdown of the working hours of 40 hours per two weeks in 1 month:
Week of 1-15 hours
Week of 2-25 hours
Week of 3-25 hours
Week 4-10 hours

Is working hours associated with the lecture program are counted in the quota '40 hours per 2 week '?
If the international student work related to the lecture program (eg employment, or apprenticeship) then, the working hours are not included in the quota of 40 hours.

What about the Graduate Research subclass 574 visa (subclass 574 Postgraduate Research Sector)?
574 visa holders can work without limits, after lecture begins. However, during the pre-Master's program, international students must follow a quota of 40 hours per two weeks.
