Most
students take part-time or casual jobs at
some time during their studies. Some jobs
are closely tied to courses of study (such
as formal cadetships and informal arrangements
such as part-time work by law students in
solicitors’ offices). Some students tutor
school children or get jobs on campus in
the canteen, the bookshop, in the institution’s
offices and as laboratory assistants. Some
jobs are entirely outside the education
community such as bartending, babysitting,
gardening, hospitality, sales, information
technology, restaurants, checkout work or
fruit picking. ...........................................

Some
institutions offer a job placement service. If
work is available you will need to obtain a tax
file number from the Australian Government. Under
certain circumstances dependants of students are
permitted to work.
