Hi Shyam,
Thank you for taking the time to post this question.
International students will have a 48-hour/ fortnight work restriction from 1 July 2023. While this might seem hard to balance, but here are some ways you can do be able to manage your finances.
- pay for your tuition fees for at least a year before to Australia from Nepal
- choose a university/ college and course that matches your financial capabilities
- manage and spend money wisely as a student in Australia
- if you are coming with your spouse/ partner they will also have work rights which can be helpful
a few years back, students were allowed to work only 40 hours/ fortnight and most students were able to balance their finances.
Here are some resources that might be helpful for you:
