The Government has also announced that the allowable work hours cap for international students on 1 July 2023 will be raised from its previous level of 40 hours per fortnight to the new level of 48 hours per fortnight.

This revised cap will help international students to support themselves through their studies while maintaining study as the primary purpose of their visa.
