Find CourseWork Rights During Studies
International students are permitted to work a maximum of 20 hours per week while they are undergoing a study program. During vacations, students can work full-time and earn more whereas student who pursues master by research or doctorial program may be able to work for more than 40 hours per fortnight.
Bringing your dependents
If the student’s course duration is 12 months or longer, then his or her spouse and children can accompany to Australia. They can apply for a dependent visa at the same time as the student applies for their visa. Alternatively, the spouse and children can join the student later after they have commenced their course.
Even if the family members do not plan to travel with the student, their names must be declared in his/her application. This is important in the sense, if he/she does not declare all family members in the application, they will not be eligible to apply for a dependent visa once the student has arrived in Australia.
Work rights for your spouse
Spouses accompanying undergraduate students to Australia on a dependent visa can work a maximum of 20 hours per week throughout the year, and full-time during vacations.
Spouses accompanying those studying at a Masters or Ph.D. level can work full-time once the student starts their main course.
