Student visa work restrictions were relaxed throughout the pandemic, and completely removed in January 2022. The relaxation will end on 1 July 2023 however the limit to the working hours during course session will increase.
The relaxation of student work restrictions aimed to address workforce shortages. This will end on 30 June 2023.
From 1 July 2023, work restrictions for student visa holders will be re-introduced and capped at the increased rate of 48 hours per fortnight, instead of the previous 40 hours per fortnight.
This ensures that student visa holders are able to focus on obtaining a quality Australian education and qualification, while remaining able to support themselves financially, gain valuable work experience, and contribute to Australia’s workforce needs.
