    if then that vacation is held after your exams then you can work on those involved days as quoted on this line from the link I shared a while ago:

    _________________________________________________
    for the duration of the advertised semesters (including periods when exams are being held)

    @danyan2001us we were just confused cos suddenly someone said that students cant work unlimited hours even on stuvac. it just opposed everyone's belief na we can work for as many hours as we want as long its a student vacation even if its not semestral break tlga.

    @danyan2001us more than 40 hours per fortnight* when your course is in session (other than work which has been registered as a part of the course).
    Note: No work limits apply during recognised periods of vacation offered by your education provider.

    You cannot undertake work until you have commenced your course in Australia.

    FYI with Student visas

    Work Rules for International Students

    International students in Australia on a valid student visa can work for up to 20 hours per week while school is in session, and there is no limit on the number of hours an international student can work during recognized school vacations. A work week in Australia is considered to be Monday through the following Sunday. Although they are allowed to arrive in Australia up to 90 days before their course begins, students are not allowed to begin working until after their courses have begun.

    The 20-hour-per-week limit does not extend to any work the student is required to undertake as a component of his or her studies or training. Volunteer and unpaid work, however, does count towards the 20 hours. If an international student works more than the Australian restrictions allow, his or her visa may be cancelled.

    Work Rules for Family Members of International Students

    Family members (spouses and children) accompanying the international student under their student visa have the same work rights as the student – 20 hours per week. Unlike the students, family members may not exceed 20 hours per week, even during holidays. For those students obtaining a graduate degree, like a masters degree, their family can work unlimited hours. Like students, family members are allowed to work until after the student has started his or her course.
