What Indian students should check
Use this checklist before you make a decision, pay money, accept work, travel, or sign documents in Australia.
- Confirm work conditions directly from your visa grant or VEVO.
- Keep your roster, payslips, bank deposits, and messages about shifts.
- Do not accept threats about visa cancellation from an employer as legal advice.
- Use Fair Work information if pay, hours, payslips, or workplace pressure feel wrong.
Practical next steps
Keep the process simple: verify the official requirement, save evidence, and act early if something feels unclear.
- Apply for a TFN before starting paid work.
- Read the Fair Work and part-time jobs guides before your first shift.
- Save evidence if an employer asks you to work unpaid trial shifts or off the books.
