(1) Subject to subclauses (2) and (3), the holder must not engage in work in Australia for more than 40 hours a fortnight during any period when the holder's course of study or training is in session.

(2) Subclause (1) does not apply to work that was specified as a requirement of the course when the course particulars were entered in the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students.

(3) The holder must not engage in work before the course for which the initial student visa was granted commences.
