| There is a large Indonesian network in Randwick and a large Filipino network in Bankstown if you are heading back to Sydney. If your helper will be a student, there will be a cultural network as there is always an Indonesian club or a an international club.
Your helper MUST attend 90 per cent of classes if she is going to TAFE and 80 per cent if it's a uni programme. And, she MUST be a full-time student. This means a commitment of at least 3 subjects (dependent on institutions). International students on an Australian student visa are not allowed to complete online courses except for perhaps 25 percent of the entire course load. HappyV is correct too, student visa renewal is subjected to the student's success in achieving at least a pass.
When you take into account the number of hours she needs to be at TAFE or uni, you'd find that you are no better off unless you are a SAHM. Each lecture is about a 2 hour block and tutorials are the same. Multiply that by 4 subjects (more if it's a TAFE programme and with TAFE, there are many minor P/F subjects), You are looking at at least 16 hours (plus travel time and lunch time if modules are split during morning and afternoon) per week Monday-Friday.  |
