i doubt student who works there dont even get 6k monthly.
normaly more or less income 6k are fix jobs.

student are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week/month.
so we dont get tax. rmb only INCOME that we works not the income that we get from family

correct if im wrong.

hi...juz wanna ask, y my savings acct interest got deducted coz of the tax? then can get them back or not? any refund? HELP....thx in adv

I know this a very late post, but once you've applied to the ATO for a tax file number, what do you do? Do you have to go to the bank you opened your account, or can u do it online? Do you need proof of identification like passport?

they (some oz playmaker) always hike the rate up early and middle of the year coz they know lots of students n tourist going there. u wait n c after july n august, the rate will go down a bit. it's been like this for the past 3 years

Ops sorry it's my own experience after and still studying there for 4 years.. coz when i get back here to change currency it's always higher than other time of the year.

maybe i should do some research since i graduated vit bachelor of econs n now doing postgrad for accounting,sorryla i didnt take postgrad for econs if not this will be my thesis

First, Australian economy runs under a Managed Floating Exchange Rate. So even if their economy is affected by student,tourists or commodity prices.. there is still an invinsible hand controlling the economy/exchange rate. They will try to do it to their own best interest just like what Malaysia is doing now. Go read Australia n Malaysia exchange rate policy first

There are new visa regulations in place for students intending to stay after graduation. What I understand is upon graduation, you now will need to apply for a bridging visa which gives you 18 months to find a permanent job in your applicable field. You can only apply for a Permanent Residency after 18 months. Previously, I believe you will have gained enough points to directly apply for residency right after you graduate.
To answer your question, yes, you can remain in Australia upon graduation to find a job here.

i suppose there are loopholes lol. but i'll see how things goes when i prepare my application next year. i'm pretty sure my degree is somewhere in the list, but i'll let the experts decide lol

A full-fee paying place may be allocated to applicants with a UAI up to five points below the UAI cut-off. The UAI cut-off for fee-paying in 2007 was 97.1.
