2. Part-time Work Opportunities
Australia offers plenty of roles in hospitality and retail, often hiring students for casual/part-time roles. Most casual roles in Australia pay well, with the minimum wage for 18-year-old students starting at $20/hour and increasing with age. Jobs such as tutoring offer flexibility for students and allow students to tutor in their native language. Students are legally allowed to work part-time while being on their Student VISA, subject to a certain number of work hours.
3. Post-Graduate Work Opportunities
Many large companies recruit employees through universities, leading to an abundance of post-graduate work opportunities. For example, Deloitte, an accounting firm, actively hires graduates from the University of Queensland. Furthermore, Australia offers the opportunity to gain a temporary Graduate visa, depending on the duration of your studies in an Australian university.
