International students

Know your workplace rights

Like many international students you may get a part-time or casual job to help pay your living expenses while you study in Australia. This information will help you to understand your rights in the workplace.

All people working in Australia have basic entitlements. These include the right to minimum pay and conditions for any job you are employed to do - regardless of the length of your stay.

The Fair Work Ombudsman’s role is to protect and enforce your workplace rights. We’re here to help you.
