Welcome to our Community! Forum Rules & Guidelines
This forum is a safe, supportive space for international students in Australia to share experiences, swap job tips, and connect. By participating, you agree to follow these rules:
Peer Discussion Only (Not Legal Advice)
This forum is for sharing personal stories and peer-to-peer advice.
- Do not present your personal opinions as official immigration, tax, or legal law.
- Always point peers to official sources like the Department of Home Affairs, ATO, or Fair Work Ombudsman for official matters.
- Mods will remove posts that guarantee visa outcomes or give definitive legal directives.
Zero Tolerance for Illegal Job Offers or Scams
We are committed to helping students find safe, fair work.
- Do not post or advertise “cash-in-hand” jobs below the Australian legal minimum wage.
- Do not offer, buy, or sell visa sponsorships or fake work documents.
- Do not post affiliate links, WhatsApp group links, or unauthorized business promotions.
Keep it Respectful and Inclusive
- Treat every member with kindness and respect.
- Absolutely no racism, discrimination, hate speech, sexism, or bullying.
- Disagreements are fine; personal attacks are not.
Protect Your Privacy (No Doxxing)
Be smart about what you share publicly online.
- Do not post personal phone numbers, emails, home addresses, or visa grant numbers.
- If you are sharing a bad workplace experience, focus on the situation rather than naming and shaming specific managers or private individuals to avoid defamation issues.
No Spam, Trolling, or Low-Effort Posts
Help keep the forum easy to read and navigate.
- Search the forum before posting a new topic to see if your question has already been answered.
- Do not post the same question across multiple categories (no cross-posting).
- Avoid clickbait titles; keep your titles descriptive (e.g., “Question about hospitality penalty rates in Victoria” instead of “HELP PLS!!!”).
Moderation & Reporting
Our volunteer moderators review posts to keep the community safe.
- If you see a post that breaks these rules, please use the Report/Flag button rather than engaging.
- Moderators reserve the right to edit, lock, or delete posts, and ban repeat offenders at their discretion.
