inasfah Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hi all. My wife is currently studying master degree by coursework and holds a VISA subclass 500. I hold a dependant visa with the same subclass 500 with my visa condition 8104. As quoted in the VEVO website on my VISA Detail Check (September 2019): 8104 - Work restriction: 40 hours a fortnight: You can only work up to 40 hours in a fortnight. A fortnight means the period of 14 days starting on a Monday. If you are a member of the family unit of a primary student visa holder, you must not work in Australia until they have started their course. Family members of students studying a masters or a doctorate degree can work unrestricted hours once the primary student visa holder has started their course. Note: This applies to family members of students who hold subclass 500 visa. Unrestricted work rights also applies to family members of subclass 573 (Higher Education Sector) and subclass 574 (Postgraduate Research Sector) visa holders studying a masters by research or doctorate degree. Can anybody please help me understand whether I can work unrestricted hours or not. I did not get any clear information also from the education agent that helped me applied my visa. Thank you.

LouDYorkie Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It sounds like you can provided she has actually started studying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inasfah Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Yes she just started studying on July 2019. the problem is there are so many full hours job position that I can try to apply. But if my working hours are really restricted to 40 hr per fortnight it will be just fine. I just want to make sure and clear, just in case I can change my resume and explain to the future employer that I can either work full or part time. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGrieves Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think the conditions are clear - if your partner is currently enrolled in her masters, you have unrestricted hours. I had the same condition for 3 years, it was never a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
