My friend who is English has been with her Australian boyfriend for over
a year. She is here on a holiday visa and they want to get married later
this year.

She has been offered a job which would involve her going overseas for
short periods of time (1 week max). Would she be allowed to do this on
a temp spouse visa.

Thanks

A spouse visa holder be it provisional or permanent is allowed to
enter/leave Australia as he/she pleases.

Only thing to note is that if the provisional spouse visa was granted
onshore, the permanent spouse visa can only be granted onshore, so if
she is planning any trips abroad when the permanent spouse visa is being
processed, she needs to inform DIMA so that the grant can be made after
she is back in Australia.
