Work-Study Australia: Dream, Plan, Achieve

Before you start working in Australia, you need a Tax File Number. You should also consider getting an Australian bank account to make it easier to get paid.

The following are types of part-time jobs you might consider.

• Call center and marketing
• Reception and administration
• Store assistant and retail
• Farming and fruit picking
• Restaurants, bars and cafes
• Working in tourism, motels, hotels and hostels.

It doesn’t matter if you’re working as an international student or have a holiday Visa, you have rights in your employment. These rights uphold your entitlement to the following:

• An award wage.
• Rest times and breaks
• A safe and healthy
• environment to work in.
• The ability to challenge an unfair dismissal.

One thing to remember for international students is that even though you’re allowed to enter the country 90 days before your studies begin, you can’t start working and studying in Australia until your course begins.
