According to the doctoral regulations, you may work only 400 hours in a year when you are enrolled full-time. Most scholarships require that you be enrolled full-time to receive them. Therefore you should make sure that you do not work in paid employment for too long if you receive one of these scholarships. 

 Postgraduate Research Student Support (PReSS) accounts provide financial support for doctoral research. They allow for up to $2900 per annum - depending on the PhD subject area - to assist with research, with a $1200 per annum cap on travel spending for conferences. Accounts are established on first enrolment, with new allocations made at the beginning of each year for up to four years. Spending is restricted to essential research costs and is negotiated between student and supervisor.

If you have any queries about your PReSS account, ask your supervisor. If they cannot answer your question, then ask the departmental/school administrator.
