Maybe. Some nationalities can transit without a visa, but others need a transit visa. Best to check based on your passport and route.
Can I work in Australia on a tourist visa?
No, work isn’t allowed. If you want to work, you’ll need to apply for a specific work visa.
Can I study while I’m there?
Yes, but only for a short course up to 3 months. For anything longer, you’ll need a student visa.
