Work for International Students in Australia
Students and their dependants can apply for permission to work after their course commences, and are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week whilst the course is running.

During semester breaks you are allowed to work full-time with this visa. If a student is completing a Masters degree or a Doctorate family members have unrestricted work rights. To keep a student visa the student must maintain 80% attendance and fulfil course requirements.

Please note, Employers and Employing Agencies accept your application in many cases only if you

• hold the correct Visa which gives you the right to work in Australia.
• are already in the country
• have the correct tax file number.

Please use these guidelines before making appointments with employment agencies and employers. AA Education Network can give you guidance on how to proceed most effectively.

The National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR) is an Australian Government organisation to assist Australian institutions to recognise qualifications from overseas. Often it is a process of weeks to get a response. Australien-Ausbildung (AA) will assist you to get the recognition you require as soon as possible.

We have personal experience to get the recognition you require and also provide you with a free counselling service. Australia has several recruitment companies world-wide that provide career counselling and can connect graduates with prospective employers. In many large corporations you will find in-house graduate recruitment services who will highly value graduates with international experiences.

As an international student you have the opportunity to attend returning-home seminars provided by Australian universities and higher education institutions that help you to find employment entry in your home country, including job search facilities.

Did you know that the skilled migration programme has been set up by the Australian Government to allow people with skills that are in demand to settle in Australia and contribute to the Australian economy?

International students with Australian qualifications make up approximately 50% of the applicants for the skilled migration programme. There is still high demand in occupations like information technology, nursing and accounting. In order to be admitted to this programme, you will need to pass a points test and satisfy basic requirements: a maximum age limit of 45, English language proficiency, post-secondary school qualifications or work experience relevant to your nominated occupation. If you hold Australian qualifications you will receive points in addition.
