If your friend is on a student visa. They will need to check the number of hours they are allowed to work with the department of immigration (https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/). From the ATO side of things, your friend can be an employee and work under an ABN at the same time. They would need to understand that the work they do under an ABN. The tax obligations (https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Employee-or-contractor/Your-tax-and-super-obligations/) are not accounted for the same way it is when they are an employee. We have a great page for starting a business (https://www.ato.gov.au/business/starting-your-own-business/before-you-start-a-business/) they may find helpful.
