To do so, the Australian Government has announced the international student will work for extended hours in the supermarket.Normally, the student is not allowed to work more than 40 hours during their course of study. However, by keeping the current situation in mind the student can work in this busy period. The employers need to follow the Australian workplace laws and the students will have the same workplace laws as the rest of the employees.This way the students are given flexible working hours and the current demand will also be met. The work restriction will be lifted from around 20,000 nursing students. This way they will provide health care support across the country who need them the most.Temporary visaThe people who have applied for the temporary visa need to give in writing about the visa cancellation. To make sure you do it correctly it’s best to seek advice from the professionals. You need to give proof you have been outside the mainland of China for around 2 weeks.
