About this Visa

Who is this visa for?

You should read this information if you are applying for your first or second Working Holiday visa.

This visa is for people aged 18 to 30 years of age, who are interested in a working holiday of up to 12 months in Australia.

Important: Applicants must have turned 18, but not turned 31, at the time of visa application.

This visa allows you to supplement the cost of your holiday through incidental employment. If your primary reason for travelling to Australia is to participate in the work force, you should consider a visa designed for that purpose.

People who have worked as a seasonal worker in regional Australia for a minimum of three months while on their first Working Holiday visa, may be eligible to apply for a second Working Holiday visa.

What does this visa let me do?

If you are granted this visa you can:

* enter Australia within 12 months of grant
* stay up to 12 months
* leave and re-enter Australia any number of times while the visa is valid
* work in Australia for up to 6 months with each employer
* study or train for up to 4 months.

Note: If you applied for your Working Holiday visa before 1 July 2006, you may:

* undertake study or training for up to 3 months
* work for up to 6 months with each employer

Important: Your visa will have a condition limiting work with each employer to 3 months however, all visa holders have been granted permission to work for up to 6 months with each employer.

The main purpose of this visa is to allow you to combine a holiday with work and supplement your funds with incidental work in Australia.

Your visa will have a condition limiting work with each employer to three months however, all visa holders have been granted permission to work for up to six months with each employer.

The ’employer’ is the business for which you are working directly.

If you are referred by an agency or labour supplier to a business, you can work for six months for that business. The same agency or labour supplier can refer you to another business where you can work for another six months. For the purpose of the six month limitation, the ’employer’ is considered to be the business for which you are working directly, even if you are being paid by an agency or labour supplier.

You cannot stay in the same job beyond six months by using different employment agencies, business affiliates or sub-contracting arrangements.

Extending the work limitation

In exceptional circumstances, it may be possible to extend the period of work with one employer to longer than six months. An extension may be allowed for a very short period of time and only if there is sufficient justification to grant it.

Requests should be submitted in writing, to the department and must include a letter of support from the employer.

Important: Submit your request at least two weeks before the expiry of the six month employment limitation.
