Overseas students
All overseas students enrolled in Victorian schools may undertake work experience as part of their learning program. When a work experience arrangement is being made for an overseas student, the terms and conditions of the visa held by the student must be complied with, as well as the work experience requirements as contained in this policy.
As workplace learning is an important component of the school curriculum and a student’s learning program, work experience undertaken by overseas students does not count towards work entitlement hours of the visa held by the student.
For further information, contact the department’s International Education Division on 03 7022 1000 or international@education.vic.gov.au
