STAGE 3 OF 5
Study & Work
Balance study with work, and start building an Australian career.
Studying in Australia usually means working too, and figuring out how to do both well without burning out. On top of that, most students eventually want more than a part time job: a real foothold in the Australian workforce that can carry into a graduate role.
This section covers your part time work rights and how many hours you can work, how to write a resume that actually gets read by Australian employers, where to look for jobs as a student, how networking works differently here, and programs like the Professional Year that can strengthen both your skills and your visa options. Start wherever makes sense for where you are in your studies.
