- This flexibility is only applicable to current employees in major supermarkets like Cole and Woolworths
- This policy will help international students to work more and study at the same time in this demanding situation.
- Except from the supermarkets all other employers are bound to comply with the standard rules set by DHA

However, if you leave Australia then this condition lifts automatically. And if you need to travel on such conditions then you have to make a request.
