According to the law, in Australia, you can work no more than 40 hours every two weeks if you are in a "normal semester", and you can work indefinitely during a "non-school period" (that is, holidays). However, there are exceptions. For example, if the work stipulated in the school curriculum is internship, it will not count as forty hours. Or if you are a volunteer, you must apply for a work permit even if you are not paid, and this is within 40 hours.
In Australia, most college students work as laborers, and their monthly salary is between 1000 and 2,000 Australian dollars. I often choose three jobs: a orderer in KFC or McDonald's, a delivery man in a pizza shop (preferably with my own car), and a sushi shop selling sushi. These three jobs are relatively easy to find and do. Moreover, the salary is not low, generally reaching 1200 Australian dollars to 1800 Australian dollars per month. In addition, because Australian law stipulates that leftovers sold on the same day are not allowed to be sold the next day, you can take some chicken legs, pizza or sushi home in most cases. In addition to these jobs, international students can also choose to work as salespeople in supermarkets or as low-skilled workers in factories. Although these jobs are relatively hard, the pay increases accordingly, about five to two thousand Australian dollars a month. The living expenses of overseas students in Australia are about 6000 to 10000 Australian dollars a year, so as long as they are diligent students, the living expenses can be completely solved by working.
To work in Australia, you must apply for your own tax number first, get paid through normal behavior, and try not to find some low-paying jobs that take cash directly. These tasks are not only laborious, but also not helpful for future work.
