As a result of Australia’s Omicron COVID-19 outbreak, foreign students will be allowed to work more hours to help alleviate worker shortages. Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that the federal government will lift the 40-hour-a-fortnight cap on student visa-holder workers, allowing them to work as many hours as they want. In May of last year, the forty-hour work limit for international student visa holders in the tourism and hospitality industries was lifted. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-13/international-students-allowed-to-work-more-hours/100753802?fbclid=IwAR3ZV38Oe64myktBzvRBhRjxoZr0PMca-RGLHEgDYgBHftuTP-plVROV3Ag
