If you\u2019re a student, you might want to look for jobs that have flexible shifts, so you can balance work with lectures, assignments and exams.<\/p><p>The right job for you will be dependent on your skills, availability and location. Your class schedule also matters. Weekend shifts, evening work and casual jobs can be easier to manage than fixed weekday hours.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Can international students work part-time in Australia?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>Yes. International students on a Student visa (subclass 500) can work while studying, subject to their visa conditions.<\/p><p>During your course, you can generally work up to 48 hours per fortnight. A fortnight means a 14-day period starting on a Monday. When your course is officially out of session, you can generally work unlimited hours.<\/p><p>There are some exceptions for students undertaking a master&#8217;s degree by research or a doctoral degree. Your exact visa conditions can also depend on your circumstances, so check your visa grant information or VEVO before accepting work.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Why do students take up part-time jobs in Australia?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>A part time job can do more than just help you earn some extra cash.<\/p><p>For instance, working while studying can help you:<\/p><ul><li>Control some of your day-to-day expenses<\/li><li>Gain Australian work experience<\/li><li>Improve your communication and customer service skills<\/li><li>Gain confidence at work<\/li><li>Meet people not from your university<\/li><li>Build valuable experience on your CV<\/li><li>Develop healthier time-management habits<\/li><li>Learn to manage your income and expenditure<\/li><\/ul><p>And you get to know how workplaces work in Australia, which can be useful when you start looking for graduate roles later.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Best part-time jobs in Australia for international students<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>You have several options when looking for part-time work.

Always check the applicable rate before accepting a job.<\/p><h3><strong><b>1. Retail assistant<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>Retail is a common option for students, particularly if you are comfortable speaking with customers. Your work may involve operating the checkout, arranging products, helping customers and keeping the store organised.<\/p><p>Retail stores may also offer evening or weekend shifts, which can work well around a university timetable.<\/p><h3><strong><b>2. Caf\u00e9 and restaurant jobs<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>If you enjoy being around people, hospitality can be worth considering. You may work as a waiter, caf\u00e9 assistant, kitchen hand or similar staff member.<\/p><p>The work can get busy during peak hours, so it is a good option if you are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.<\/p><p>You may also come across casual shifts that allow you to work around your classes.<\/p><h3><strong><b>3. Tutor<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>If you\u2019re good at a subject, tutoring can be a great way to earn money off the knowledge you already have.<\/p><p>Depending on your skills you could tutor school students, help other university students or offer lessons in subjects like mathematics, science, languages or music.<\/p><p>Also, tutoring can be more flexible than a fixed-shift job, especially if you work for yourself.<\/p><h3><strong><b>4. More Clean<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>Cleaning jobs can be perfect for students who like practical work and need flexible shifts. You can find opportunities in offices, hotels, residential properties and other places.<\/p><p>Some cleaning jobs are carried out outside normal office hours, making it easier to fit them in around classes.<\/p><h3><strong><b>5. Courier<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>Another alternative is food and parcel delivery, especially in the bigger cities. Depending on the role, you may need a bicycle, scooter or car and you must meet the relevant requirements.<\/p><p>Check the costs involved in this type of work such as transport, insurance and equipment. Your actual earnings can also vary based on the number of deliveries, location and hours worked.<\/p><h3><strong><b>6. Babysitter<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>If you like hanging out with kids and have the experience babysitting can work well. Your duties may include cooking, helping with homework, playing with children or driving them to activities.<\/p><p>Some families may prefer students who are available in the evenings or on weekends.<\/p><h3><strong><b>7. Assistante administrative<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>If you are good at organization and communicating, you can look for entry-level administrative positions.<\/p><p>You might be responding to emails, updating files, making appointments, handling paperwork or assisting other employees. These roles can also give you office experience that can be useful after graduation.<\/p><h3><strong><b>8. Jobs in customer service<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>Many industries, including retail, hospitality, education and online services, employ people in customer service roles.<\/p><p>You could spend your day answering customer queries, dealing with bookings, solving basic problems or handing out information. These roles are useful to have good communication skills.<\/p><h3><strong><b>9. Fitness jobs<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>If you have the right qualifications you could work as a fitness instructor, gym assistant or personal trainer.<\/p><p>If fitness is something you&#8217;re already into, these roles might be a good fit. Some jobs, though, might need you to have certain qualifications or certifications.<\/p><h3><strong><b>10. Freelancing<\/b><\/strong><\/h3><p>Students with skills in writing, graphic design, video editing, web design, digital marketing or the like can look into freelance work.<\/p><p>The biggest plus is flexibility. You will have the flexibility to work on projects around your studies, rather than committing to regular shifts.<\/p><p>Freelance income can be volatile, though. Unlike traditional employment, it\u2019s not always as predictable from month to month.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Where can you find part-time jobs in Australia?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>You don&#8217;t have to depend on one source when looking for work. Try a few things at the same time.<\/p><p>Common search methods include:<\/p><ul><li>Online job sites like SEEK, Indeed and LinkedIn<\/li><li>Your university\u2019s student employment or career site<\/li><li>Websites of local businesses<\/li><li>Employment agencies.<\/li><li>Local job boards and community groups<\/li><li>Asking friends and classmates for openings<\/li><li>Checking out local caf\u00e9s, restaurants &amp; shops<\/li><li>University departments offering student positions<\/li><\/ul><p>Some employers may also accept applications directly at the workplace for some casual positions. And if you\u2019re going to visit local businesses, have a few copies of your CV ready.<\/p><h2><strong><b>How to apply for a part-time job in Australia<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>Most student jobs don&#8217;t ask for a complicated CV. Please keep it concise and to the point and focus on information relevant to the role.<\/p><p>Your CV can contain:<\/p><ul><li>Your contact info<\/li><li>Education and current course<\/li><li>Past work experience<\/li><li>Related skills<\/li><li>Certifications, if any<\/li><li>Availability for volunteer work<\/li><li>References if you have any<\/li><\/ul><p>Check your CV for spelling and formatting mistakes before you apply. It\u2019s also worth tweaking it a bit for each role rather than sending the same CV for every role.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Things to keep in mind before taking a part-time job<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>Getting a first job in Australia can be exciting, but don\u2019t jump at an offer before you\u2019ve checked the finer details.<\/p><p>Make sure you know before you begin:<\/p><ul><li>Your hourly fee<\/li><li>Your shift timings and working time<\/li><li>If the role is casual, part time or other arrangement<\/li><li>When and how you will be paid<\/li><li>Your work responsibilities<\/li><li>Any applicable employment award or agreement<\/li><li>Work restrictions with a visa<\/li><li>Any costs you have to pay yourself<\/li><\/ul><p>Keep a record of your hours and payslips. If it doesn\u2019t seem right you can get advice about your rights at work.<\/p><p>Also keep your studies as a priority. A job should fit in with your course and not prevent you from attending lectures, handing in assignments or revising for exams.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Tips to balance work and university<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>If you take on too many shifts working while studying can be hard. A straightforward routine can help.<\/p><p>Check out these habits:<\/p><ul><li>When accepting shifts, be sure to consider your class schedule.<\/li><li>Be sure to allow yourself enough time to do assignments and study for exams<\/li><li>Keep track of your working hours to stay within your visa limit<\/li><li>Make sure to keep some free time every week<\/li><li>Don\u2019t take on additional shifts during busy academic times.<\/li><li>Search jobs near your university or accommodation<\/li><li>Let your employer know when you are available<\/li><li>Keep your pay slips and your employment records<\/li><\/ul><p>Just be aware that you\u2019re in Australia on a Student visa to study. Making money is useful, but it should not be at the expense of your course.<\/p><h2><strong><b>Final thoughts<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>A part-time job can make <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofstudent.com\/au\">student life in Australia<\/a> a little easier. It can help you cover some everyday expenses while giving you experience, new connections and a better idea of working life in the country.<\/p><p>The best job is not necessarily the one that pays the highest hourly wage. Find something that fits in with your timetable, plays to your skills and gives you reasonable working conditions.<\/p><p>Most importantly, keep an eye on your visa work limit. Depending on the conditions of your visa, holders of student visas are generally allowed to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during the term of their course, and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks.<\/p><p>Australia has the right balance for you to work, study and still enjoy your life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f184c9f e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6f184c9f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66f093be elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"66f093be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13ff8024 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"13ff8024\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
