Guidelines
Responses relating to Labour force status rely on the student's own perception of their labour force activities. For employment such as casual, seasonal, contract and shift work, use the current number of hours worked per week to determine whether the student is working full-time (35 hours or more per week) or part-time employed (fewer than 35 hours per week). Labour force status must be reported if the student has provided this information on their enrolment form. This classification is based on the Standards for Labour Force Statistics, ABS, 2018.
