Good news! Extended post-study work rights announced
The Australian government has announced extended post-study work rights for international students who graduate with select qualifications from an Australian higher education provider.
The additional two years of work rights apply to an extensive list of occupations and eligible qualifications in areas of skills shortage including health, teaching, engineering, and agriculture.
This is especially good news for students who have studied or plan to study at South Australian institutions as the existing additional year of post-study work rights has been retained.
Effective from 1 July 2023, eligible South Australian students will have post-study work rights increased to
Four years for select Bachelor degrees (+ one additional year)
Five years for select Masters degrees (+ one additional year)
Six years for all Doctoral degrees (+ one additional year)
Find out more, including the list of occupations and eligible qualifications, in the Government media release.
Changes to international student work hours:- From 1 July 2023, work hours for international students while they are studying will be re-introduced. International students will be able to work 48 hours per fortnight.
Students can continue to work unlimited hours during holiday breaks from study.
