We provide a pre-departure orientation to give you ideas on how to prepare an effective resume, and how and where to look for part-time or casual work. However, this does not guarantee them a job.

Students must also be aware that they are only allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during their school term. If they are found to be working more than 20 hours per week, the DIAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship) will cancel their visa.
