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?

[@overseasstudentsaustralia]

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
