Employment Permits in general are issued only for full-time job vacancies for a range of positions which are not on the list of Ineligible Categories of Employment for Employment Permits.

Spousal/Dependant Employment Permits may issue for jobs with as few as 10 hours per week. Spouses, recognised partners and eligible dependent (unmarried) children, who have been admitted to the State as family members of holders of Green Card employment permits or who have been admitted as family members of Researchers on Hosting Agreements are eligible to apply for Spousal Permits.
