Hello Sam, If one defers the intake and lands in australia prior the starting date of class, can both the student and dependent work during the period?

Hmmm, interesting question. At the moment, the rules are relaxed for starting work before the start of the course but this could change, Read the update here: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/student-500/temporary-relaxation-of-working-hours-for-student-visa-holders?TermStoreId=1cafda66-8aac-4a45-95fa-3e03872913b6&TermSetId=a76074c9-979d-4db3-adcc-34af89495da2&TermId=b2191a31-aa36-4448-9d38-af89b6b7d331
