JetBlast Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 There is a big shortage of IT people. Assuming you're good, I don't think you will have too much of a problem finding work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Do look at the visa rules for the student as there may be a restriction on hours you can work during term times also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SameerKhan360 Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Because I've heard that only who has PR get an IT job, and others survive on non professional jobs, that's the reason I am curious to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But check if there is a restriction on hours, and be aware that many government departments (including all Federal Govt) may not be able to employ temporary residents.

I arrived in Australia in early 2019 on a temporary / provisional visa. I secured a permanent job in IT immediately. I started a new job a few weeks ago, again a permanent position, that also required a high level of security clearance and I am soon to be on a bridging visa. In both jobs team members were also on visas that aren't permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
