Working Holiday Visas

Working holiday visas let young people from eligible countries live, work, and travel in Australia for up to a year, with the possibility of extending through further specified work.

Who is this visa for?

Young adults from eligible countries wanting to fund extended travel through short-term work
Applicants who meet the relevant age range for their nationality
Those not seeking a long-term migration outcome, but wanting flexible, temporary work rights while exploring Australia

Sufficient funds

Evidence of adequate money to support yourself initially

Additional conditions for some nationalities

Such as functional English evidence, tertiary education proof, or a government support letter

Health and character requirements

What this visa allows

Temporary work with multiple employers (with limits on time spent with any single employer)
