Here is some excellent news for all of the international students studying in Australia.
As it adjusts to the "new normal" following the epidemic, Australia has decided to ease the employment limits on student visas.
The government agreed to relax the rules on student visa employment in January 2022 by permitting both main and secondary visa holders to work more than the usual 40 hours per week.
To solve the labour shortages the nation was experiencing, this was done. On June 30, when the current statute expires, new rules will take effect.
The maximum time spent at work each fortnight will rise from 40 to 48 hours as a result. All overseas students, regardless of when they start their studies in Australia, must adhere to this.
Yet there was more good news than just that. Australia will also increase the post-study job privileges for graduates from other countries.
Since September 2022, the possibility of extending the period of time that graduates of abroad programmes may remain in the nation has been under discussion.
The Council for International Education has voted to move through with the plan and put the new law into effect on July 1, 2023.
Prior to this change, overseas graduates from bachelor's programmes may stay in Australia for two years after finishing their studies, while PhD candidates could stay for four years after receiving their visa approval.
Beginning in July, overseas graduates with a Temporary Graduate visa are eligible for a two-year extension of their post-study work rights (subclass 485).
The present time frame for persons who want to remain in and work in regional regions will be extended by an extra two years.
International students who have obtained higher education degrees in particular fields of study are eligible to extend their employment privileges. This choice was taken to support areas of the economy that are struggling with a lack of qualified workers.
According to Catriona Jackson, CEO of Universities Australia, "Australia needs more qualified employees to relieve the present constraints impacting on our labour market and economy.
The present skills shortage in the nation, she added, emphasises the essential need to keep more of the foreign students who contributed A$40.3 billion to the economy before the epidemic.
"Each year, hundreds of thousands of international students enrol in our top-notch colleges, but only 16% of them choose to stay. Because of that, we are in worse financial and social shape.
The expansion of PhD students' employment privileges, in particular, will significantly accelerate Australia's knowledge economy, according to her.
Four years will be permitted for those pursuing certain bachelor's degrees, five years for master's degree candidates, and six years for PhD candidates.
With respect to post-study work rights, Australia is now one of the most generous hosts.
226 programmes, including those in medicine and nursing, professional health, diagnostics, allied health, education, engineering, technology, agriculture, and many more, are included on the list of programmes that qualify for this extension.
Below is a list of degrees that grant international students in Australia the post-study work extension:
