Working while studying
Casual or part-time work is a great and flexible way to earn money while you study.
Competition for casual or part-time jobs can be high, so they can be difficult to find. Jobs are usually offered in areas like retail, hospitality and customer service.
If you have the right qualifications, tutoring, either at university level, or privately, may be an option.
