✔ 最佳答案
1. Usually it is easier to find a part time job in the big city, i.e. for job opportunities. Job types can be on-campus jobs (library, cafe, school office, etc) and off-campus jobs (retails, office, fast food shops, etc).
2. You have to know if you are an Australian Resident during the financial year (e.g. 1 July 2007 - 30 June 2008). Assume you are an international student. During a financial year, you have stayed more than 6 months in Australia, you are considered as an Australian Resident. You pay no tax while you earn AU$1.00 - AU$6,000.00. If you first arrive at Australia and find a part time job, you have not stayed over 6 months, then you are a non-resident and pay 29% tax while you earn AU$1.00 - AU$30,000.00. Please refer to

3. I just answered this question to yoyoyes925, you can find the answer there. In short, you can contact your school's accomodation office. They will give you a list of on/off-campus accomodation. Shared house with other people is the cheapest, you have a room and share the utility expenses (Electricity, Gas, Water, Phone and Internet) with others.
4. HK$8,000.00 is around AU$1,128.00/month, that means you spend AU$260.00/ week. If you just rent a room and cook your own food, it may be enough. However, you have to consider other expenses: tuition fees, other school fees, book and stationery, eat-out, clothes, transportation, medicine and other personal expenses. AU$260.00/week is not enough for above expenses, specially, the cost of living in Sydney is more expensive than other states.
5. You can work 20 hours only per week (including weekdays and weekend). Please refer to
