The 48-hour limit applies across all jobs while a course is in session, subject to visa-condition exceptions. This is not work authorisation. The annual estimate repeats the entered fortnightly work pattern across the selected number of weeks. Awards, junior rates and classifications can require a different minimum or penalty rate; confirm the applicable rate in Fair Work's PACT.
