Work restrictions for student visa holders in Australia

From 1 July 2023, student visa holders can work no more than 48 hours a fortnight while studying. Student visa holders have no work restrictions when their course of study or training is not in session. These restrictions allow students to focus on obtaining a quality Australian education and qualification, while also gaining valuable work experience and contributing to Australia’s workforce needs.

The Australian Government has announced that student visa holders already working in the aged care sector on 9 May 2023 can continue to work unrestricted hours in any type of work in the aged care sector until 31 December 2023. The exemption only applies to work in the aged care sector. Any work outside of that sector is limited to 48 hours a fortnight, while their course is in session. Work in the aged care sector must be with an approved aged care provider in accordance with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission Rules 2018, established under the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission Act 2018 (Act).
