Int'l students can work upto 48 hrs/fortnight from 01 Jul 2023.

In response to workforce shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the cap on work hours for international students was temporarily lifted.

However, the government has announced that as of 1 July 2023, the cap will be reinstated and increased from 40 to 48 hours per fortnight.

The revised cap will allow international students to support themselves financially while prioritising their studies, which remain the primary purpose of their visa.

The Australian Government has also announced that student visa holders already working in the aged care sector on 9 May 2023 can continue to work unrestricted hours in the aged care sector until 31 December 2023.
