Allowed working hours on student visa
Dear Department of Immigration and Border Protection,
I seek a copy of the documentation in relation to student visas and in particular the limit of hours a person is allowed to work in Australia. Currently I am limited to work 40 hours per fortnight and as an international student this affects my expenses. I wish to see the reasons behind this.
Yours faithfully,
