Work rights

You are legally permitted under a student visa to work up to 20 hours per week whilst studying during term time and full time during any term breaks. However the college does not guarantee or acquire work on your behalf and the course schedule will limit time available for work. 

The money you earn while working in Australia should only supplement your income and not be used as your only source of income.

Other Australian Visas

If you have a valid visa other than a student visa for entering Australia, you may be able to study at Unity College on either a full time or part time basis. You would need to check the work rights as they applied to that particular visa.
