You put your spouse on the visa application, there is a section where you enter all the names of your family that are going with you. She can work but I think for only 20hrs a week

what does 20hrs a week means, 7 days or 5 business days, or 7 days including holidays.

students enrolled in Masters by research or Doctoral degree (visa 574)
students sponsored by AusAID or Defence (visa 576).

Conditions of visa are. 20 hours per week. in holidays the student can work unlimited hours, partner can only do 20 hours at all times, they get that as a privilege.
I know this for a fact as my son is on a student visa with his partner.
We have asked about his partner working more hours, but no way will they allow this.

Re: Studying in Australia
no, perz is right....
spouses of MASTERS degree (not bachelor) students (either subclass 573 [masters by coursework] OR 574[masters by research or Doctoral degree]) have unlimited work rights, once the student has started their main course.
Masters degree students have the same work rights as over students - 20hours max when course is in session, unlimited at all other times.
And I believe a week is a calendar week - so the 20 hours would be over 7 days
