The right to work in Australia is available to:

  • Australian citizens.

  • New Zealand citizens.

  • Australian permanent residents.

  • Foreign nationals who hold a valid work visa.

The Australian Department of Home Affairs heavily enforces these regulations. Individuals who work illegally in Australia could face fines of up to $63,000 and/or five years imprisonment.
