New Work Hour Requirements for International Students

OSHCstudents – It’s important to check with official and updated sources for the latest information. As of that time, here are some general considerations regarding work-hour requirements for international students in Australia.
Starting 1 July 2023, international students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight. This equates to 24 hours per week.
This change has been designed to provide students with increased flexibility to support themselves, while still ensuring study remains the primary purpose of their visa.
In a notable exception, international students working in aged care before 9 May 2023 will not be subject to the reinstated 48-hour work cap and can continue working unrestricted hours until 31 December 2023.
Other details to note as a student visa holder:
  • You cannot work until you have started your course in Australia.
  • During course study periods, you can work up to 48 hours per fortnight (either part-time or casual).
  • During study breaks defined by your institution, international students are permitted to work unlimited hours.
  • If your course includes work as part of its curriculum, these hours won’t count towards the 48-hour cap.
  • For those pursuing a master’s by research or a Ph.D., there are no limits on work hours.
  • Always check for the latest information from official government sources or contact your education provider’s international student support services for the most accurate and up-to-date details on work hour requirements for international students in Australia.
If you are international students, foreigners arriving in Australia, or Australian citizens traveling abroad looking for OSHC, OVHC, travel insurance, please contact Annalink team at email: info@oshcstudents.com and our partners for further information and assistance.

I trust Allianz Care since it is one of the largest insurance companies in Australia, with the medical centres where I only have to pay for what is left from insurance support. (no need to claim later). Besides, those centres are located at the centre of the city, close to schools. Very convenient, right? Credits to Allianz Care for providing reliable medical centres for health check and treatments.

I’ve been living with homestay family for 2 years. I’m now 19, I can move out but I don’t want to leave my host, who has become my family. It feels like I’ve met my second family. Thanks OSHCstudents for sending me to this homestay!

I realised how important insurance was when I started living in Australia. There I switched to using Allianz Care instead of the previous service. Allianz Care is extraordinarily good in its consulting service and customer care. I’ve learned a lot about Australian health care, also I was consulted with mental issues and how to live a healthy lifestyle. I am very happy now.

Thanks to Allianz Care, every time I claimed my medical receipts it processed much more quickly and easily than I expected. I was initially a bit concerned since Allianz Care is more expensive than other insurance companies, but now I can ensure that it is totally worth the money.
