How long can international students work in Australia?
Student visa holders in Australia have permitted work hours set by current policy — this has changed in recent cycles, so always confirm the current limit rather than relying on older figures before you commit to a work schedule.
Key points
- Work-hour limits for student visa holders have been adjusted in recent years.
- Some placements (mandatory work experience) can fall outside the general cap.
- The 485 Temporary Graduate visa carries no such work-hour restriction.
- Check current settings directly rather than assuming last year's limit still applies.
