Student Visa Holders
Work restrictions for student visa holders will be capped at 48 hours per fortnight. This impacts students undertaking an internship. This restriction applies to:
- Paid and unpaid work (unless the unpaid work meets the definition of volunteer work, which work undertaken as part of ENGR90033 and CHEN980028 does not)
- Work undertaken in Australia including remote work for a company based overseas
Please note that work undertaken as part of ENG90033 an CHEN90028 is not formally registered as part of your course because they are elective subjects and not a mandatory component.
As a result, work you undertake within your internship must be limited to approx. 24 hours per week and totaling no more than 48 hours per fortnight. It is suggested that students complete the internship over 14 weeks, which at 24 hours per week equates to 336 hours (meeting the minimum requirement of 320 hours).
