Student Jobs

Landing your first student job in Australia can feel overwhelming without local experience or references. Our student job guides give you the real information you need to find casual work quickly and build your Australian employment history.

We cover the most accessible student jobs including retail positions at Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi, hospitality roles in cafes and restaurants, warehouse and logistics work, and on-campus opportunities at Australian universities. Learn what employers actually look for, how to apply effectively, and what to expect in terms of pay, hours, and working conditions.

Our guides explain night shift and weekend work options (with health tips), food delivery jobs through Uber Eats and DoorDash, and the reality of working in fast-paced supermarket and cafe environments. We also cover crucial questions like: How many hours should you work while studying? What mistakes do new international students make in their first Australian jobs?

Each guide includes honest insights about the physical demands, typical shifts, training processes, and realistic pay rates. We help you understand Australian workplace culture, customer service expectations, and how to balance work with study commitments.

Start your Australian work journey with confidence, even without local experience.
