Workplace Rights and Rules

Knowing your workplace rights protects you from exploitation and ensures you’re paid fairly. Our workplace rights guides help international students understand Australian employment laws, Fair Work basics, and what to do when things go wrong.

Learn about work rights specific to international students including hour restrictions, minimum wage rates for casual and part-time workers, and how to check if you’re being paid correctly. We explain essential concepts like TFN and ABN, how superannuation works for international students, and how to read and understand your Australian payslip.

Our guides cover what to do if your employer underpays you (step-by-step process), explain Fair Work basics every international student should know, and clarify the differences between casual, part-time, and full-time employment. We also tackle important safety topics like the risks of cash-in-hand work, your entitlement to breaks and fair rosters, and what constitutes bullying and harassment.

Learn about public holidays, penalty rates, weekend loading, and your basic entitlements under Australian law. We also explain when and how to report workplace issues safely.

Protect yourself by knowing your rights. Work with confidence knowing you’re being treated fairly and legally.
