hahahaha lucky shit box hill's okay lalalaaa

For those intending to take up part time work, you should ensure that you are signing into a fair contract and working the appropriate hours. Do not get pressured into working under unfavourable conditions as some employers are out there to exploit desperate international students, especially under these tight labour market conditions.

As a legitimately employed individual, you should also check your superannuation entitlements, benefits & awards, file your tax returns each FBT, etc.

You should remember that your first and foremost responsibility here is to study. You should not expect to work to cover your tuition or basic living expenses, but mainly to gain the experience which will be useful for graduate employment.

melbourne was crazy yesterday.

cyclone winds lol darn thing ripped off my apartment window.

Ok just wanna ask a question here especially responsibility wise in employment in Aussie under student visa.

Lets say you work ILLEGALLY (no black & white record of your employment) BUT you have a working visa attached to your student visa and the employer just wanna rip you off by paying below the minimum wage remuneration. (hence the black & white terms). Provided the individual did not exceed his/her 20 hours per week condition, what if: You met a serious accident ?
so ...
i)do the employer have a responsibility to cover your medical expenses?
ii) can you claimed from your insurances ?

(i) The employer will pay for your medical expenses, or else he/she will be penalized by gov. for paying lower than minimum wage AND for employing illegally without any documents
(ii) No, because you don't have black/white document to say that you work and the insurance company will only accept black/white docs.

This is a Catch 22 situation. Don't the government also take appropriate action on you for working illegally?

Uhm..guys, the MAS office in Melbourne is in Nauru House ( 15th Floor, Nauru House, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia)..just wondering has anyone been there before..???like can we enter and go to the office??cause i have to re-validate my flight..

Yes, but you have a working visa, and working less than 20 hours a week.
On the other hand, the employer would want you to keep quiet.

just storm the office like cyclone
why dont just contact them or just drop by their office, not need to sked

unlike summer, 8pm still so bright!

haha yeah, i played football at 7 or 8, now, u cant see anything at that time =.=

yeah i was thinking abt the same thing.
Anyway thx chris_c28 and zltan. i do agree that employer will want to keep you quiet, if the general public finds out then probably customers will shun the place. Anyway thx again.

DLS gonna end this saturday, feel closer to malaysia now(time wise)

lols...DLS....DLS...yahoo!.. ...more time tidur !
