The basic salary for this kind of work is generally around 15 Australian dollars. If you get excellent grades, you can also get opportunities to help classes in colleges and universities, and your salary is relatively high.
In addition to working on campus, you can also work off campus if necessary. In addition to washing dishes in restaurants, you should be able to choose to be a cashier in a supermarket, a salesman in a fashion shop, shearing wool on a farm, picking fruits on a big farm and so on.

You have to pay a certain percentage of tax when you work, but if your income is below a certain credit limit, you can apply for export tax rebate.
Five, working tips.
Although working after school can earn living expenses, authoritative study abroad experts suggest that working abroad should be targeted, and you don't have to blindly follow the trend and choose different jobs according to your own situation. When I first arrived in Australia, because I didn't know the natural environment, my English was not very good and I didn't have any skills. Students should do a simple job. In this way, we can get in touch with new fields as soon as possible, improve our oral English, and it is not easy to endanger our study and training, so as to achieve the goal of independent living. In the case of a holiday, you can consider finding a job with an all-English natural environment and long construction time to increase profits.
Six, in addition, we should also pay attention to the following aspects:
1, before the weekend part-time job gradually, you must sign a labor contract to protect your legitimate rights and interests and prevent unnecessary disputes.
In addition, make a good study plan before going to work, and don't look back and forth.
3. Working hours cannot exceed the required time.
2. Reference of living expenses for studying in Australia
1, clothing
Clothes are consumables and have strong seasonality. Besides, everyone likes the new and hates the old. Many clothes are basically thrown away in the season, and they don't want to wear them after one season, especially abroad, so there is no need to buy luxury goods.
Ordinary students will buy new clothes every month, and students who save a little will choose to buy clothes season by season. Even so, the annual expenditure on clothing is not low, at least 2,000 Australian dollars is needed.
However, the climate in Australia is very good. The temperature is relatively high throughout the year, and the climate is warm and humid. It should be noted that you don't need to bring down and cotton-padded clothes. When you arrive in Australia, you basically don't need to buy these, which can save a lot of money.
Step 2 eat and cook
Three meals a day, every meal can not be less, such a high frequency, means that it will not be cheap, but this does not mean that there is no way to save.
Australia, located in the southern hemisphere, not only has a unique geographical position, but also has unique dining habits. The topography of the island brings a lot of rich seafood, including lobster, crab and marine fish.
However, as a world-famous immigrant country, in Australia, you can also eat delicious food from all over the world, including Chinese food. Due to the large number of Chinese in Australia, authentic Chinese restaurants are very popular.
The cost of eating a year is about 7,000 Australian dollars. If you cook by yourself most of the time and eat out occasionally, you can save about 1000 Australian dollars.
Step 3 rent a house
The cost of accommodation is undoubtedly the cost of living. Living in a dormitory is very different from renting a house. Renting a house is more expensive than living on campus as a whole.
Student dormitories are generally paid weekly, and the weekly price is between 150-500 Australian dollars. The better the environment, the more expensive it is. You can choose a single room or multiple rooms. The school dormitory fee in big cities will be higher than that in small cities.
If you rent a house off campus, there will be more choices, but in order to save money, most students choose to find several classmates or friends to share it. Generally, one month 1500 Australian dollars, with water and electricity added equally.
Based on the above, we can calculate that the comprehensive accommodation fee for studying in Australia for one year is between 10000-20000 Australian dollars.
Step 4 transport
Opaque card is used by buses and trains, and it is a kind of bus card in Sydney. Travelers must use Opaque card. Compared with buses, trains are the most important mode of transportation in Sydney. If you need to go to school by public transport every day, the cost is about 30 Australian dollars.
About buying a car in Australia, you can usually buy a good car for ten or twenty thousand dollars. But if you go to school in the city, there is no need to buy a car, because it is not only difficult to park, but also the traffic jam is serious. Parking in CBD is one hour near 30 yuan. According to public transportation: AU$30×4=AU$ 120.

However, there is only a two-hour time difference between Australia and China, so it is very convenient to contact with family members.
4. Work.
The Australian government and schools strongly encourage students to work in their spare time. They think it is a good opportunity to get in touch with society and accumulate experience. Many universities will arrange corresponding courses to help students get familiar with the employment environment in advance.

Australia is not only a high-income country, but also a high welfare country. Basically every resident is included in his life. So we can all enjoy the OSHC project of 300 Australian dollars per year. If you get sick while studying abroad, he can pay 80% of the medical expenses. If you get PR after graduation, you can enjoy the same welfare benefits as the aborigines.
Step 6 migrate
Australia has a high immigration rate, which is called "the platter of ethnic groups". This is because Australia's immigration policy is very loose and there are many ways. Basically, you can immigrate as long as you meet the conditions. And there are many immigration lawyers who can give advice and help to students.
